According to Espncricinfo, the year 2018 was one of the most difficult years to bat as a test player, with a test wicket cost 27.37 runs and scored every 28 innings in a century. The average batting in Test cricket that year was 26.28, the lowest in 1857 in 60 years since 26.41.

However, despite these difficult numbers, Virat’s dominance as a test batsman stood out. The centuries were easily scored in various situations, it should be in its home, South Africa, England and Australia.

Virat finished the year 2018 as the leading run-goldter, scoring an average of 55.08 in 13 matches and 1,322 runs in 24 innings with five centuries and five fifty. His best score was 153. Second place was Kusal Mendis of Sri Lanka (1,023 runs in 12 tests with three centuries and four half -centuries) and Joe Root (948 runs in 13 tests with two centuries and six half -centuries) of England.

However, the difference was how and where Virat collected these runs, while most of Kusal’s runs (805 runs in seven tests) came to New Zealand, Bangladesh, and West Indies, and rested at home, (218 runs in five tests), and 436 runs of their runs – test).

Virat scored for centuries in the house, South Africa, England and Australia, which draws the number of all times in the state of the army, a hallmark of the success of any great Indian batsman. It consisted of a stunning 500-plus run, which came out on the seaming surfaces, swinging of England after a horror 2014 tour, where he fielded his old enemy James Anderson to fall even once. He also gave centuries in Perth and Centurion, who did some memorable counters, which despite falling wickets at the other end, described world-class Australia and South African bowlers.

At the beginning of the year in South Africa, Virat topped the run-chart with 286 runs in an average of 47.66, scoring a century and fifty. His Amar came to the 153 -run knock to Centurion, where he was the last person to fall in the first innings, aggressively to attack his 217 balls to take a world -class protein unit of Cagiso Rabada, Morne Morkel and Vernon Philander. His knock was decorated with 15 fours, and came at the commanding strike rate of the run 70.50. South Africa won the series 2–1, but India won the hearts and demonstrated immense desire on an unfit Johannesburg pitch, where Virat’s people won in lower scoring.

Virat’s Team India moved to England, where he demanded a revenge for his previous insults at the hands of James Anderson and Stuart Broad, which raised questions at his testing place during the days when he had just started getting up. Batting coach Sanjay Bangar set a special practice drill and set fire to Virat before being taken to England ground. He led the run-charts as months of preparation for months, with two centuries and three half-centuries in 10 innings at an average of 593 runs in five matches and an average of 59.30.

A roar, ring-clumbon, cover-driving Virat took a century in Edgbaston and his run ended anti-climatic with the first ball duck at Kennington Oval, which reduced him by 10 runs from Rahul Dravid’s record for most runs during the England Test tour. Nevertheless, the old score was resolved and England’s pace was feasted during the almost alone attempt in India’s 1-4 series.

At home during the series against the West Indies, India easily won 2–0, including Virat scored 184 runs in two innings at an average of 92.00, including a royal 139 in Saurashtra.

Moving forward for the final challenge of the year, Team India flew to Australia. The first three matches of the four -match series were played before the end of the year, with Virat’s classic 123 with Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc, and Josh Hazelwood’s highlight against Josh Hazelwood’s fiery pace quartet on a spicy wicket. He ended the year with a century and fifty each with 259 runs in six innings in Australia.

As a captain, Virat had a solid year, leading India in all 13 tests, winning six to seven. Away from home, Virat won four in 11 tests. He lost seven, but one -one win in South Africa and England, and two wins in Australia, which helped India win a series for the first time in Australia, which meant that it was well done for Virat.
