The great Indian batsman Virat Kohli, who is called the run machine of the Indian team, has been battling his poor form for a long time. His has consistently scored runs with the bat, but Kohli, who scored 70 centuries in the first 11 years of his career, has been looking forward to his 71st century for almost three years. He scored his last century in the Test format against Bangladesh on 23rd November 2019.
In the last few years, many Indian batsmen have raised their game and some batsmen have scored runs step by step with Virat. Today we will talk about 3 such Indian batsmen who have scored the most runs in international cricket since Virat Kohli’s last century.
Rishabh Pant
The Indian team management was in search of a better option for many years to handle the legacy of former Indian captain and wicket-keeper batsman Mahendra Singh Dhoni (MS Dhoni). In such a situation, it would not be wrong to say that young wicketkeeper Rishabh Pant has tried his best to fill the gap after Dhoni’s departure to a large extent.
Rishabh Pant, who made his international debut in 2017, played 76 innings after Virat Kohli’s last century in which he has scored 2505 runs with the help of four centuries.
Virat Kohli
Virat Kohli may not have scored a century with the bat after 2019, but he has consistently contributed with his bat in all three formats for the Indian team. He is at the second position in the list of Indian batsmen who have scored the most runs after his last century. Meanwhile, he has played a total of 79 innings across all formats in which he has scored 2554 runs with the help of 24 half-centuries.
Rohit Sharma
Indian captain Rohit Sharma’s form in the last few years has been excellent and he comes first. Rohit has played a total of 70 international innings after Virat’s last century, in which he has scored 2634 runs with the help of four centuries. You will be surprised to know that on one hand it has been more than 1000 days since Virat Kohli’s last century. At the same time, captain Rohit Sharma has also not been able to score a century in limited overs cricket for a long time.
