Interesting Cricket Records (Virat Kohli Improved His Highest Test Score 15 Times — A Unique Feat in History): As Virat Kohli brought down the curtain on his legendary Test career, most of the attention rightly focused on his 123 Tests, 9,230 runs, and 30 centuries. But one lesser-known record deserves just as much applause: Kohli improved his highest Test score 15 times during his career, a feat no other player in Test history has matched.
Kohli began his Test journey in 2011 against the West Indies in Kingston, scoring just 4 runs in the first innings. In the second innings, he slightly improved that to 15. But that modest beginning was the start of a trend that would define his career—the relentless pursuit of bettering himself.
Each time Kohli notched up a new top score, he didn’t stop there. From early half-centuries to double centuries, he constantly raised the bar. It’s a remarkable contrast to many players whose best innings come early—or just once.
