India vs South Africa 2021-22: Virat Kohli, Rishabh Pant on Verge of Interesting Feats

India captain Virat Kohli and goalkeeper batsman Rishabh Pant are approaching an interesting feat as India faces South Africa in a three-match test series starting on December 26. Although Kohli can become the third fastest to reach 8,000 test matches, Pant can go beyond his idol MS Dhoni in terms of the number of dismissals. Kohli has only achieved this feat 199 times and will become the fifth Indian batsman to do this after Sachin Tendulkar, Rahul Dravid, VVS Laxman and Virender Sehwag.

The Indian captain has not made it to the top 100 international in more than 2 years. If he can score in some way, he may become the successor to Tendulkar (154 innings), Dravid (158 innings) and Sehwag (160 innings) The Indian 199, who got there the third fastest, was in the first round of the Boxing Day Test at the Super Sports Park.

In the past two years, he has not scored a century of goals in cricket tests, and fans will pay close attention to him whenever he hits the ball on Centurion. Overall, Kohli will become the 33rd batsman to accumulate 8,000 professional runs in the cricket test.

Mumbai overcame Vidarbha by 169 runs in the Wankhede Stadium final on Thursday to end an eight-year drought for a record-tying 42nd Ranji Trophy victory. Vidarbha put up a valiant fight in the second inning to chase a massive 538 runs, but on Day 5, they were eventually bowled out for 368.

Vidarbha put up a valiant battle on Day 5 of the final, with captain Akshay Wadkar and Harsh Dubey leading the team’s struggle against Ajinkya Rahane’s troops. Vidarbha scored 81 runs in the opening session without losing a wicket thanks to the two’s resolute stance at the crease, which frustrated the home team.

Following lunch, Wadkar gave Vidarbha’s innings a boost with a magnificent century, showcasing his batting prowess. But when it was time to step it up, Tanush Kotian got his wicket by lbw-ing Wadkar.

Following the captain’s exit, Vidarbha’s batting lineup came under increasing pressure. Even Dubey, who showed fortitude by hitting a steely 65 off 128 deliveries, gave in to the pressure of the scoreboard.
