Virat Kohli Brakes another record

New Delhi, Feb 27: Indian Captain Virat Kohli has been the highest scorer on the tour. In the three-match Test series, which India lost 2-1, the 29-year-old made 286 runs. He amassed 558 runs in the six-match ODI series to become the first batsman ever to score 500 runs in a bilateral 50-over series. He struck three hundred and a half-century in the course of the series which India won 5-1.

India skipper Kohli amassed 871 runs across all formats at a mind-boggling batting average of 79.18.

With this feat, Kohli surpassed Australian great Allan Border in becoming the second-highest run-getter by a touring captain.

Border had scored 785 runs against England in 14 innings in 1985 while Kohli accumulated 871 runs in 14 innings against South Africa.

Former South Africa captain Graeme Smith holds the record with 937 runs in 16 innings against England in 2003. Former England captain Alastair Cook is fourth with 769 runs against India in 2012.
