Delhi: In the Champions Trophy 2025 against Pakistan, Virat Kohli’s batter came out in the Champions Trophy for the first time. Virat Kohli has been playing in this ICC tournament since 2009, but till now he had not been able to score a century in it. But on Sunday, he completed this shortage in the match of India and Pakistan. With this century, Virat left behind Rahul Dravid and now his next goal is to break the record of Sourav Ganguly, which he can achieve soon.
651 runs in Champions Trophy
Virat Kohli has scored 651 runs by playing 15 matches played in the Champions Trophy so far, including 1 century and 5 half -centuries. During this time his average is 93 and he is scoring runs at a strike rate of 90.16. Virat broke many records by scoring a century against Pakistan. The first record was that of Rahul Dravid, who scored 627 runs in 19 matches, now Virat has overtaken him by playing a century innings.
Chance to leave Ganguly behind
Now if we talk about Virat’s next goal, then he can break Sourav Ganguly’s record. Ganguly had scored 665 runs in 13 matches, that is, Virat Kohli only needs 15 more runs to overtake Sourav. It may be that Virat breaks this record in India and New Zealand match on March 2.
Dhawan’s record may break
The batsman Chris Gayle, who scored the most runs in the Champions Trophy, scored 791 runs in 17 matches. But the highest run -scorer for India is Shikhar Dhawan, who scored 701 runs in 10 matches and won the Golden Bat 2 times in 2013 and 2017.
Virat now needs only 50 runs to back down Shikhar Dhawan. The kind of batting Virat has done against Pakistan, it seems that he has now returned to form completely. In such a situation, if he plays another 50 runs, he will break the record of the summit. If the Indian team has now reached the semi -finals, Virat will get a chance to play at least two more matches.
