Kohli currently has 86 international centuries, while Root has already established himself among the leading run-scorers in Test history. With both players still active in international cricket, Karthik believes Root has a realistic opportunity to surpass Tendulkar's record, while Kohli's pursuit of 100 international tons remains a much tougher challenge.
Kohli's overall international numbers also include more than 28,000 runs, with his ODI career remaining particularly significant to his statistical legacy. He recently continued his strong form against West Indies, scoring 139* in the first ODI of the series before adding 29 in the second and being dismissed for a first-ball duck in the third.
Root therefore needs 1,644 more runs to move past Tendulkar and become the leading run-scorer in Test cricket.
