Top Virat Kohli records that Shubman Gill might break in upcoming tournaments

Long days are gone when India's batting in one-dayers used to revolve around the trio of Rohit, Shikhar, and Virat. The time has come for youngsters to take up the role. Among them, the most promising one is Shubman Gill. The youngster from Fazilka, Punjab, has impressed everyone with his impeccable batting prowess since his under-19 days. 

The bottom-handed batter Gill idolizes Virat Kohli and plays in a similar kind of mould. Interestingly enough, Virat believes Gill is more talented than he was at Gill's age. Both share a great rapport and are often seen having fun on the field. There's mutual admiration between them, often seen talking about each other in high regard. 

The way Gill has been scoring runs this year, it seems he has taken the baton from Virat. It would be too early to predict, but it looks very much on the cards. And with each game, he's knocking down quite a few impressive records of Kohli.

Here are some records of Virat Kohli that Shubman Gill can shatter in upcoming tournaments:

5. Most runs in a single edition of Asia Cup 

Till now, Virat Kohli has featured in 11 ODI matches in the marquee event with the last one being in 2014. But his best Asia Cup campaign with the bat came in the 2012 edition. King Kohli scored 357 runs in 3 innings which includes two centuries against the likes of Srilanka and Pakistan, respectively. 

The incredible innings at Mirpur against Pakistan back in 2012, turned out to be his career-best 183 that too while chasing a monumental target. That special one stamped his prowess in modern-day ODI cricket. Even Gill possesses similar capabilities to deliver such performances for his side. Notably, this time India are scheduled to play 5-6 matches in the upcoming Asia Cup 2023, and we can expect Gill to play all of them. 

Shubman Gill knows how to construct a big innings and he would be eager to grab this golden opportunity with both hands in a bid to prepare for the ODI World Cup 2023. He knows the importance of buying time at the crease and runs will come automatically. The Punjab-based batter stands a great chance to cross that 357-run mark to surpass Kohli.
