Kohli ends with 9,230 Test runs, while Williamson signs off with 9,515, leaving both legends only a few hundred runs away from one of the game's most celebrated milestones.
Yet their greatness was never defined by numbers alone. Through remarkable consistency, unforgettable innings, and an unwavering commitment to the longest format, both players shaped an era of Test cricket. The record books may show they fell short of 10,000, but their influence, achievements, and legacy will endure far beyond any statistical landmark.
