With a landmark innings at the BCCI Centre of Excellence, Virat Kohli rewrote history by surpassing a decades-old benchmark held by former Australia star Michael Bevan. In a Vijay Hazare Trophy match against Gujarat in Bengaluru, Kohli didn’t just pile on the runs—he broke records. He passed Michael Bevan to become the highest-averaging batter in the history of List A cricket. Over his last six List A innings, he’s stacked up 584 runs at an average of 146. Passing a legend like Bevan, he’s shown again that while records are made to be broken, some players just keep setting new ones—ones that might never fall.
