India are currently engrossed in a high-voltage series with Australia for the coveted Border-Gavaskar Trophy. After a thrilling draw in the third Test at Brisbane, the series now stands a 1-1. India will now be looking to seal a win and take the lead in the series as they take on Australia in the 4th Test, which will be the famous Boxing Day encounter at the Melbourne Cricket Ground from December 26. Fans will be hoping to see Virat Kohli bouncing back to form after disappointing outings in the last two games. In fact, he is on the verge of breaking a massive Sachin Tendulkar record.

Sachin Tendulkar is currently the Indian batter with the most number of runs at the MCG. He has 449 runs at the iconic Australian ground. Virat Kohli currently has 316 runs in 2 Test Matches at the MCG. If he scores 134 runs across the two innings in the Boxing Day Test, then he will break Sachin's record and become the Indian with the most runs at the venue.

Here are the Indian players with the most number of runs at the MCG:

Sachin Tendulkar- 449

Ajinkya Rahane- 369

Virat Kohli- 316

Virender Sehwag- 280

Rahul Dravid- 263

Virat Kohli began the series with a dismal score of 5 in the first innings of the first Test. He looked at his best in the second innings as he scored a century, the 30th of his Test career, and his 10th in Australia across all formats. However, he struggled to score runs in the second and third Test matches at Adelaide and Brisbane.

In the second Test match, Kohli scored 7 and 11 in the two innings respectively. In the third Test, the star batter got out after scoring just 3 runs. Hence, Kohli has just amassed 126 runs in the series and is aiming to return to form to help India in the 4th Test and seal a series win.
