Virat Kohli Nears Sachin Tendulkar’s ODI Milestone, Can He Surpass It?

Kohli Nears a New Milestone

Virat Kohli is close to surpassing Sachin Tendulkar as India’s highest ODI run-scorer against New Zealand.

Just 94 Runs Away

Kohli has 1,657 ODI runs vs New Zealand, only 94 short of Tendulkar’s tally of 1,750.

Head-to-Head Numbers

Tendulkar scored 1,750 runs in 42 innings with 5 hundreds and 8 fifties, while Kohli has 1,657 runs in 33 innings with 6 hundreds and 9 fifties.

Perfect Stage Set in Vadodara

The three-match ODI series begins January 11 in Vadodara, where Kohli could rewrite the India vs New Zealand ODI record books.

Kohli’s Recent Form Helps

Kohli enters the series in good touch, having scored heavily in domestic cricket and in past ODI outings against top attacks.

Milestone Within Reach

If he delivers in the opening ODI, Kohli could become India’s leading ODI run-getter against New Zealand, adding yet another chapter to his legendary career.
