IND Vs NZ ODI: Virat Kohli can break Virender Sehwag’s record of most centuries in ODIs against New Zealand

India vs New Zealand ODI: The Indian team will start the three ODI series against New Zealand from tomorrow (January 17, Wednesday). The first match of the series will be played in Hyderabad. The Indian team led by Rohit Sharma will face the New Zealand team captained by Tom Latham. In the very first match, everyone’s eyes will be on Virat Kohli. Kohli can break the record of centuries of former Indian batsman Virender Sehwag in this match.

Just one century away from Sehwag’s record

In the total of 113 ODIs played between India and New Zealand so far, Virender Sehwag has scored maximum 6 centuries. Whereas Virat Kohli is just one step behind him with five centuries. In such a situation, he can equal Sehwag’s record by scoring a century in the very first match. Apart from this, by scoring a century in the second match as well, Kohli can hold the record of most centuries in his name. Kohli is appearing in excellent form these days. He has scored two centuries in three matches of 2023.

Kohli’s old style was shown against Sri Lanka

Virat Kohli appeared in excellent rhythm in the ODI series played between India and Sri Lanka. In that series, his same old style was seen, for which he is known. A total of two centuries came out of his bat in three matches. He scored 113 runs in the first match. After this, in the third match, he played a blistering inning of 166* runs in 110 balls.

Significantly, in the first and third matches, Kohli was awarded the title of ‘Man of the Match’ for his century innings. Apart from this, he was also given the ‘Player of the Series’ award. Seeing Kohli’s excellent form, it is expected that he can play big innings against New Zealand as well.
