“Playing 300 ODI is a massive Feat for any Player” Ex RCB mat and New Zealand skipper praised Virat Kohli

Virat Kohli has done so much for Indian Cricket, as the ace batter once steps on the ground on 2nd March 2025 against New Zealand in Dubai he will be playing his 300th ODI for Men in Blue.

Kiwi spinner and ex RCB Teammate, Michael Bracewell who played with Indian great in IPL, stated that “Virat I have observed from close quarters, that he would be playing 300 ODI next which speaks a volume about his commitment towards game. I have seen him in RCB where he used to prepare ahead of every game. Him playing these matches in one format makes it even more special”.

If you secretly, dig out these statements, it clearly not only indicate his commitment but also indicate his fitness towards game.

Bracewell further stated that Indian team is full of superstars, it would be an exciting match for sure once we face each other, tomorrow.

Bracewell also touched on the topic which is widely raised by Cricket experts who are alleging ICC, India is not travelling anywhere instead they are playing all matches in Dubai which is giving them undue advantage to which he replied ” I don’t think so if you are playing in different conditions, for us as a team is exciting and we would love to cherish that against India”.

Bracewell also further stated that pitches in Pakistan were well balanced we adopted very well, also we have a very balanced side to play in any conditions, so hopefully we can adopt conditions in Dubai.

My Perspective: 

Let’s decode Indian Men’s Team performance so far in ICC Champion Trophy campaign to be shared in the below format:

1. India vs Bangladesh: Men in Blue beat Bangladesh by 6 wickets, credit goes to Gill brilliant hundred and Mohammad Shami Fifer.

2. India vs Pakistan: Men in Blue beat Pakistan by 6 wickets, with 44 balls remaining in the game, where Kohli scored brilliant 100 and Spinners clinch wickets together.

India would be next playing against New Zealand, if India stays at the top they would be playing semifinal on 4th March and if they finish at 2nd spot after losing against Kiwis they would be playing 2nd semifinal and eventually final two teams will play each other on 9th March 2025 where the winner will be decided on the iconic Dubai International Stadium.

For Indian Team, there are injury concerns looming including the likes of Rohit Sharma, Mohammad Shami in their place someone like Arshdeep and Rahul can bat at the top order.
