After Rohit Sharma, now Virat Kohli has also informed the BCCI about his decision to retire from Tests. However, the board has not yet accepted it and has asked him to reconsider. According to the Indian Express report, the BCCI has asked Kohli to reconsider his decision in view of the upcoming England series. However, there is no information about what decision Kohli will take. Rohit announced his retirement from Tests on Wednesday and now if Kohli also does not change his decision, then a chapter will come to an end. Let us know about Virat Kohli's five all-time records in Test cricket.
Kohli holds the record for scoring the most centuries in a Test series for India. He has equaled the great Sunil Gavaskar in this matter. Both Gavaskar and Kohli have the record of scoring four centuries in a series. Kohli did this on the Australia tour in 2014/15. He scored 692 runs in eight innings of four matches of this series. He scored 115 runs and 141 runs in Adelaide, 169 runs in Melbourne and 147 runs in Sydney. At the same time, Gavaskar did this on the West Indies tour in 1970/71. Overall Kohli is jointly at number two. West Indies veteran cricketer Clyde Leopold Walcott is at number one in this list. He scored five centuries in a five-match series against Australia at his home.
Kohli holds the record of scoring the most double centuries in Tests for India. He has scored seven double centuries. In this case, he is jointly at number four in the overall list. Sir Don Bradman has the most double centuries in Tests. He scored 12 double centuries. After this comes the name of Sangakkara and Brian Lara. Among Indians, Virender Sehwag's name comes after Kohli. Sehwag scored six double centuries.
Virat Kohli (Virat Kohli most test as indian captain) has captained the Indian team in the most matches in Test cricket. Kohli captained India in 68 matches, in which the team won 40 matches and lost 17, while 11 matches ended in a draw. Team India's win percentage under Kohli's captaincy was 58.82%.

King Kohli has won the most Test matches while captaining India. Behind him is MS Dhoni, who led the team to victory in 27 Test matches out of 60 while captaining India. In such a situation, this record of Kohli can hardly be broken.
Virat Kohli (Virat Kohli most double centuries as test captain) holds the record of the Indian batsman scoring the most Test centuries in Tests. Kohli scored 9230 runs in 210 innings of 123 matches, in which he scored a double century 7 times.
He did not score any double century in the five years of his initial Test career, but since 2016 he has scored a double century 7 times. He is the only Indian Test captain to do so, who scored a double century 7 times in Tests. In such a situation, his Test record is unlikely to be broken by any Indian captain in the future.
