Virat Kohli has been in great form during the Champions Trophy 2025. Now, he has a chance to break three major records in the final match against New Zealand on Sunday. The match will take place at the Dubai International Stadium.
India, led by Rohit Sharma, has won every game in the tournament so far. Virat Kohli has played a key role in their success. He has scored 217 runs, with an average of 72.33 and a strike rate of 83.14.
Three Records Virat Kohli Could Break ICC Champions Trophy Final
- Most ODI Runs for India Against New Zealand
Sachin Tendulkar holds the record for the most ODI runs by an Indian batsman against New Zealand. He has scored 1750 runs. Virat Kohli has already scored 1656 runs against New Zealand. Therefore, if Kohli scores 95 runs in the final, he will pass Tendulkar and have the most ODI runs for India against New Zealand.
- Most ODI Hundreds for India Against New Zealand
Virender Sehwag has the record for the most ODI hundreds by an Indian batsman against New Zealand. He has six hundreds. Virat Kohli has also scored six hundreds against New Zealand. So, if Kohli scores a century in the Champions Trophy final, he will have the most hundreds for India against New Zealand in ODI cricket.
- Most Runs and 50+ Scores in ICC ODI Knockouts for India
Sachin Tendulkar also has the most runs in knockout matches of ICC ODI events for India. He has scored 657 runs. Virat Kohli has scored 530 runs. If Kohli scores 128 runs in the final, he will take Tendulkar’s place at the top.
Also, Tendulkar has six scores of 50 or more in ICC knockouts, while Kohli has five. If Kohli scores a fifty in the final, he will have the same number of 50+ scores as Tendulkar.
Virat Kohli’s good form is very important for India in the final. He has been scoring runs consistently, and he has a lot of experience playing in big matches. If he can continue his good form and break these records, he will help India win the Champions Trophy.
The Final Match
The final match between India and New Zealand promises to be exciting. Both teams have played well in the tournament. However, with Kohli in great form, India has a good chance to win. Fans are eagerly waiting to see if Kohli can break these records and help India lift the trophy.
