New Delhi: Virat Kohli returned to form with a match-winning century in India’s blockbuster clash against arch-rivals Pakistan in the ongoing Champions Trophy 2025 in Dubai. Kohli slammed an unbeaten ton to help India chase down the target of 242 runs comfortably and register a thumping six-wicket win to secure their spot in the semi-finals of the multi-nation tournament.
Kohli continued his stellar run against Pakistan in ICC events with another memorable knock for the team. The batting maestro will aim to continue his prolific run with the willow when India lock horns with New Zealand in their third and final group-stage match in the Champions Trophy 2025. Kohli is on the verge of creating a new record against the Black Caps.
Kohli needs only one century to become the first batter to score seven tons against New Zealand in ODIs. No player in the world has managed to score more than six centuries against the Kiwis in the fifty-over format. Kohli is currently the joint-first in the elite list of batters with the most ODI centuries against New Zealand, with six hundreds to his name.
If he manages to smash a second consecutive ton in the Champions Trophy 2025 on Sunday, the Team India star will become the first to get to seven ODI hundreds against New Zealand. All eyes will be on the senior India batter once again on Sunday when India take on the Black Caps in their final group-stage encounter in Dubai.
Virat Kohli is on the cusp of becoming the first batter in the world to achieve an elite record in India’s upcoming clash against New Zealand in the ongoing Champions Trophy 2025. Cricket Sports News: Latest Cricket News, Cricket Live Score, Sports Breaking News from Sports Today
