India Vs New Zealand: India defeated New Zealand in Vadodara ODI, now the fight will be in Rajkot, where Team India will have a chance to take an unassailable lead in the series. Well, eyes will once again be on Virat Kohli who can do three big wonders in Rajkot. However, in Rajkot, Virat Kohli has a chance to achieve the position for which his fans have been waiting for the last 17 years. You will be surprised to know that Virat Kohli, who has scored century after century in ODI cricket, has never been able to score a century in Rajkot. Virat Kohli’s record in Rajkot is amazing but he is still missing a century.
Virat Kohli’s ODI record in Rajkot
Virat Kohli has played a total of five ODI matches in Rajkot. He has played four matches at Niranjan Shah Stadium, in which he has scored 226 runs at an average of 56.5. He has scored 3 half-centuries on this ground. Virat played a match in 2009 at Madhavrao Scindia Cricket Ground, another ground in Rajkot, in which he was out after scoring 27 runs. However, now Virat Kohli has a chance to score his first ODI century in Rajkot because his form is also going amazing.
Virat will do this feat for the sixth consecutive time
Virat Kohli has scored centuries or half-centuries in the last five matches. If he does the same in Rajkot, he will become the first Indian to play fifty plus innings in 6 consecutive ODI matches. Not only this, before entering Rajkot ODI, he can also become the world number 1 batsman. Currently, Rohit is the number 1 ODI batsman but Virat Kohli’s score of 93 runs in Vadodara ODI can now make him the number 1 batsman. If this happens, then Virat Kohli will once again reach the number 1 ranking after almost five years.
