Virat Kohli Poised to Break ODI Century Record Against New Zealand
Royal Challengers Bangalore star Virat Kohli is on the verge of setting a new ODI record as he prepares for the upcoming three-match series against New Zealand, starting January 11. Kohli, who has been confirmed for the series alongside Rohit Sharma, currently holds six ODI centuries against the Kiwis, tying him with Australian legend Ricky Ponting and former India opener Virender Sehwag.
A single century in the highly anticipated series would elevate Kohli to the top of this elite list, making him the sole record holder for the most ODI hundreds scored against New Zealand. Kohli boasts an impressive record against the BlackCaps, having amassed 1,657 runs in 33 innings at an average of 55.23, including nine half-centuries in addition to his six tons. This potential milestone underscores Kohli's enduring dominance in the 50-over format as he continues to build on his legacy as one of the greatest ODI batters in history.
“Virat Kohli currently has six ODI hundreds against New Zealand. A single century in the upcoming three-match series would see him become the batter with the most ODI centuries against the Kiwis.”

The IPL, I only played two games but every game and every occasion. Definitely, just knowing what I'm able to get out of myself when the situation is like that and when the atmosphere is like that. I definitely had a lot more confidence coming into this game after playing in front of, I don't know, 50,000 - which felt like 100,000 - at the Chinnaswamy.
