The third test of the series between India and Australia has started in Brisbane. Virat Kohli completed his century as soon as he entered the field in this test. This century of Virat Kohli was not of runs but of the matches he played. Due to this unique century of Virat Kohli in Brisbane, Sachin Tendulkar's record also seems to be in danger. In fact, the record of playing most number of matches against a single opponent is in the name of Master Blaster Tendulkar.
Sachin Tendulkar has made the record of playing most matches against Australia only.
He has played 110 international matches against this team. Playing the same number of matches, this record is jointly held by Mahela Jayawardene of Sri Lanka. However, Jayawardene has played 110 matches against India. Sachin's name is also second in the list of players who have played the most number of matches against one opponent. He has achieved this feat by playing 109 matches against Sri Lanka. After this, the name of Sanath Jayasuriya appears twice in the list, who has played 105 matches against Pakistan and 103 matches against India. The record of playing 103 matches once again belongs to Jayawardene. He has achieved this feat against Pakistan.However, now it is possible that Virat Kohli can go ahead of all these. He should become the player who has played the most number of cricket matches against any one opponent in the world. Virat Kohli, who is playing his 100th match against Australia, will go ahead in this race as soon as he plays the next 11 international matches against this team.
Virat Kohli is now 36 years old. In such a situation, his going ahead of Sachin's record will also depend on how much cricket is left in him.
He has already retired from T20 cricket.Virat, who is playing his 100th international match against Australia, played the second highest number of 85 matches against England. He has played 75 matches against Sri Lanka, 73 matches against West Indies, 61 matches against South Africa, 55 matches against New Zealand, 30 matches against Bangladesh and 27 matches against Pakistan.
