Team India's much-awaited tour of West Indies commences this Wednesday with both teams clashing in the first Test of the two-match series at Windsor Park, Dominica. Besides marking the debut of several players, including the dynamic Yashasvi Jaiswal, the tour will be a golden opportunity for Virat Kohli to score truckloads of runs and get himself prepared for the upcoming ODI World Cup on home soil. 

Meanwhile, Kohli could also add multiple feathers to his decorated crown by attaining a number of phenomenal milestones on the Caribbean tour. So, before the Test series begins, let's list three such feats that could be achieved by the Indian stalwart on this tour. 


Most runs against West Indies across formats

Virat Kohli has been an absolute legend for India, amassing the second-most runs across formats. However, the talismanic batter has also slammed the second-most runs against West Indies across formats and could dethrone South Africa's Jacques Kallis to move one place up to the top during this tour. 

Statistically, Kohli has 3653 runs to his name versus West Indies as compared to 4120 by the Proteas great. Therefore, he needs only 467 runs to eclipse Kallis, a pretty much possible task on this tour, as he will feature in both Tests and ODIs.

Like his contemporaries, Kohli has been a beast with the bat against West Indies in their backyard, garnering 1365 runs, including five hundreds and six fifties, at a staggering average of 50.55. Overall, he is placed eighth on this list featuring legendary Indian batter Rahul Dravid at the top with 1838 runs at a magnificent average of 55.69. 

Therefore, as Kohli needs only 473 runs to surpass Dravid, we expect him to top this list by the end of this tour. 


Most centuries against West Indies across formats

As Virat Kohli has always brought his A-game against West Indies, he holds the record for the third-most centuries versus the Men in maroon across formats. Overall, Kohli has slammed eleven tons against West Indies in Tests, ODIs and T20Is combined, occupying the third place on this list alongside his RCB teammate AB de Villiers. 

He needs only three centuries to dethrone Indian great Sunil Gavaskar, placed at the top with 13 centuries to his tally against the island nation.
