Virat Kohli Needs Century Vs New Zealand To Break MASSIVE World Record, Will Become First Player To...

India are set to take on New Zealand in their final match of the group A at the Dubai International Stadium on March 2 (Sunday). This match will decide which team finishes on top of the group, with both India and New Zealand qualifying for the semi-final with wins in their first two games against Bangladesh and Pakistan. Virat Kohli comes into this game on the back of some superb form, having scored a century against Pakistan in the last match. The superstar India batter has the chance to break a massive world record against New Zealand.

Virat Kohli currently has 6 ODI centuries against New Zealand in ODIs. This is the joint-most alongside Ricky Ponting and Virender Sehwag. If he scores a century in Dubai on Sunday, then Kohli will have 7 tons against the Kiwis and become the player with the most number of ODI centuries against them.

If Virat Kohli scores a century on Sunday, then he will score his 52nd ODI ton. He will thus break Sachin Tendulkar's world record of scoring the most number of hundreds in a single format of the game, beating his 51 tons in Test Cricket.

Virat Kohli needs 51 more runs against New Zealand to have 703 runs in Champions Trophy history. This will make him India's highest run-getter in the history of the tournament, overtaking Shikhar Dhawan's tally of 701.

If Kohli scores 85 runs against the Kiwis on Sunday, then he will become the fifth batter after Sachin Tendulkar, Ricky Ponting, Jacques Kallis and Joe Root to score 3000 international runs across all formats against New Zealand.

Virat Kohli currently has 1645 ODI runs against New Zealand. The star batter needs 105 runs to overtake Sachin Tendulkar (1750 runs) to become the leading Indian run-scorer against the opposition.
