India's talismanic batter Virat Kohli is on the verge of equalling Sachin Tendulkar in an embarrassing batting record in the upcoming third Test against Australia in Brisbane. Regarded as India's most prolific batter in the current era, Kohli failed miserably with the bat, recording two consecutive poor scores in the second BGT Test at Adelaide Oval. 

As the talisman prepares to turn things around, here's a shambolic list he might enter if he disappoints the visitors once again. 

Virat Kohli On The Verge Of Joining Tendulkar In A Shambolic Feat

Virat Kohli has been one of the most consistent performers for India against Australia. However, he has also registered three ducks against the Aussies and will equal Sachin Tendulkar's tally of four if he departs without scoring in Brisbane. While Tendulkar has played 74 innings to record four ducks, Kohli has three scores of zero in 54 innings. 

Virat Kohli To Surpass Rahul Dravid In A Huge Milestone

On the other hand, if Kohli manages to silence his critics with an impactful performance in the upcoming Brisbane Test, he will surpass Rahul Dravid in an elite feat. Kohli has fourteen fifty-plus Test scores against Australia, and if he slams two more, he will overtake Dravid on the phenomenal list. 

Virat Kohli's Recent Abysmal Form 

However, Kohli hasn't lived up to the expectations in the ongoing Border-Gavaskar Trophy. Although he struck a patient hundred in the second innings of the first Test, his technical limitations around the off stump were exploited by the Aussie pacers in the day-night affair. So, the talismanic batter would be keen to regain his mojo and play a vital role for India in the all-important encounter in Brisbane.
