From his early days, when he led India to a U19 World Cup victory in 2008 and made his international debut in the same year, Virat has consistently dominated headlines with his extraordinary run-scoring ability. Though his earliest admirers and observers had no doubts about his greatness, Virat has broken records, chased runs and won matches single-handedly at a frequency rarely seen before in world cricket.
Virat has represented India in 111 Tests, scoring 8,676 runs at an average of 49.29.
He has scored 29 centuries and 29 fifties, with best score of 254*. He is India's fifth-highest scorer in Tests.
Sachin is the highest Test run-scorer with 15,921 runs.
Notably, Virat has notched the fourth-highest number of Test centuries for India and is among the top 10 worldwide.
The Delhi-born batter is India's most successful Test captain ever. With 40 wins, 17 losses and 11 draws in 68 games, Virat boasts of an incredible resume as a captain.
