Delhi: Virat Kohli, the great batsman of the Indian cricket team, can achieve a major achievement in the upcoming three matches against England. 36 -year -old Kohli will have a golden opportunity to score the fastest 14,000 ODI runs.
Former Indian team batsman Sachin Tendulkar set this record in his 350th ODI innings in 2006. Then he scored a century against Pakistan in Peshawar. However, the Indian team had to face defeat under the Duckworth-Louis rule.
Currently, Kohli has scored 13,906 runs in 283 ODI innings with an average of 58.18 and a strike rate of 93.54, including 50 centuries and 72 half -centuries. That is, he is just 94 runs away from breaking Sachin’s record. However, in the three -match ODI series played against Sri Lanka last year, he was able to score only 58 runs, where his innings were 24, 14 and 20 runs. Kohli has played only three ODIs so far since the ICC ODI World Cup 2023 final.
The ODI series between India and England will start from 6 February. The first match will be played at Vidarbha Cricket Association Stadium in Nagpur, while the second match will be held at Cuttack and the third will be held at Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.
After this, this series will be very important in terms of preparations for Team India before the ICC Champions Trophy starting on February 19. Recently, India defeated England 4–1 in the five-match T20 series.
