Virat Kohli Prepares for New Zealand ODI Series, Nears Century Record
Virat Kohli is preparing for the upcoming five-match ODI series against New Zealand, aiming to surpass Sachin Tendulkar's record of 60 List A centuries. Kohli, who has 60 centuries and 88 half-centuries in 340 innings, recently trained intensively at Mumbai's Brabourne Stadium, showcasing strong form against pace and spin. The series, starting November 4 in Auckland, will see Kohli play under captain Shubman Gill for the first three matches, with Shreyas Iyer leading the last two. Kohli's return follows a successful recent ODI performance against the West Indies.
