Delhi: Virat Kohli, the great batsman of the Indian cricket team, is just a few runs away from setting another big record in international cricket. If he is successful in scoring a half -century in the match against New Zealand in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025, he will make a special record in the history of the tournament.
Team India performed brilliantly and defeated Bangladesh and Pakistan and confirmed their place in the semi -finals. Now on March 2, she will take on New Zealand in her last group match at the International Stadium in Dubai. The Kiwi team has already reached the semi -finals.
Kohli gave Team India a historic victory by scoring a big century against Pakistan. Earlier, he was struggling with the form, but he gave a befitting reply against the arch-rivals team. Interestingly, this was his first century in the Champions Trophy. Now Kohli will also try to play another big innings against New Zealand, retaining his form. If he is successful in doing so, then many important records in this tournament can be his name.
Virat Kohli can become the first batsman
So far, Virat Kohli has scored 50+ scores 6 times in the Champions Trophy. If he scored a half -century against New Zealand, he will become the first batsman in the world to score 50+ 7 times in this tournament. So far no player has been able to achieve this feat.
