Sydney: Indian Test captain Virat Kohli, who has scored 499 runs in the ongoing series against Australia, has a strong chance of breaking legendary Rahul Dravid's record of scoring maximum number of runs in a series against the Baggy Greens.

Dravid accumulated a mammoth 619 runs during the four-match Test series Down Under 2003/04 and the 26-year-old Kohli is just 121 runs short from breaking the former captain's record.
