If Virat Kohli, who was the top scorer in the ODI series against Sri Lanka, maintains his same form against New Zealand, then the record of Sehwag and Ponting can be broken.
New Zealand is now on the target of Team India. And, if this hurdle is to be crossed like Sri Lanka, then Virat Kohli will have to continue in his role. Meaning, in the manner in which he rained runs against Sri Lanka, in the same way his work will have to be done against the Kiwi team as well.
If Virat Kohli, who was the top scorer in the ODI series against Sri Lanka, maintains his same form against New Zealand, then two things will happen. First India’s victory will be sure. And second, the records of Virender Sehwag and Ricky Ponting will be on fire.
In fact, both Sehwag and Ponting have the record of scoring maximum 6 centuries in ODIs against New Zealand. Virat, who recently scored his 10th ODI century against Sri Lanka, has 5 ODI centuries against New Zealand so far. In such a situation, if he scores 2 centuries in the current series of 3 ODIs against the Kiwi team, then he will leave behind both Sehwag and Ponting. On the other hand, if there is one root, then he will equalize both of them.
Virat Kohli is more likely to eclipse Sehwag and Ponting’s record because his current form is tremendous. Apart from this, he becomes the most dangerous while playing under the captaincy of Captain Rohit Sharma. Virat may have played more ODIs under Dhoni and his captaincy, but his batting average has been highest under Rohit’s captaincy. Under the captaincy of Rohit, he has scored runs at an average of 114.83.
One of the reasons for Virat Kohli breaking Ponting and Sehwag’s record is his strong record against New Zealand. Only if we talk about the last series, then Virat Kohli was the top scorer in it. He has scored 263 runs at an average of 87.66. (All photos: PTI)
