Kohli made his test debut in June 2011 against the Antilles. While his first test tour was a massive disappointment with only 76 points in five rounds, a young Virat made a name for serious blows and counterattack in the coming days.

His ascent as a test player started with his young daughter against Australia in Adelaide in 2012, when he made 116 in 213 balls. Between 2016 and 2019, Virat experienced one of the first strongest mats of all time for a test cricket player, accumulating 4,208 points in 43 tests at an average of 66.79, with 16 centuries and 10 fifty in 69 rounds and the best score of 254 *.

It also included seven double centuries, most of them by a captain in the history of cricket. However, the 2020s were not great for the superstar striker, having only made 2,028 points in 39 tests to a disappointing average of 30.72, with only three centuries and nine to display in 69 rounds.

His figure received a boost from a fine 2023, where he made 671 points in eight tests at an average of 55.91, with two centuries and two fifty in 12 rounds.
