Virat Kohli Approaches Multiple ODI Records Ahead of New Zealand Series
Ahead of India's five-match ODI series against New Zealand starting November 4, Virat Kohli is poised to achieve several cricketing milestones. He is one century shy of surpassing Sachin Tendulkar's record for most List A centuries and needs 54 runs to become the highest run-scorer in ODI run-chases. Kohli also aims to maintain a 50-plus batting average across all SENA nations and to win a Player of the Series award in New Zealand, the only SENA country where he has yet to do so. Additionally, he is close to breaking Ricky Ponting's record for most ODI runs against New Zealand and Sachin Tendulkar's record for most ODI runs by an Indian in New Zealand.
