On Sunday, India are set to face New Zealand in their final group-stage match of the Champions Trophy 2025 at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium. With this big match coming up, all eyes will be on Virat Kohli, who has been in phenomenal form throughout the ongoing tournament.

Kohli delivered a stunning performance in India’s match against Pakistan on February 23. He scored a brilliant century, leading India to a comfortable win while chasing 242 runs in just 42.3 overs. For his outstanding innings, he was named the Player of the Match.

So far in the Champions Trophy 2025, Kohli has scored 122 runs in two matches at an impressive average of 122.00. Now, as he prepares to play his 300th ODI, he has a golden opportunity to break several records against New Zealand. 

So, take a look at the milestones he can achieve:

1. Most Runs for India in Champions Trophy History

Kohli has scored 651 runs in 15 Champions Trophy matches. If he scores at least 51 more runs, he will surpass Shikhar Dhawan’s record of 701 runs to become India’s top run-scorer in the tournament’s history.

2. Most Runs in Champions Trophy History

If Kohli scores 142 runs against New Zealand, he will break Chris Gayle’s record (791 runs) and become the highest run-scorer in the history of the Champions Trophy.

3. Most Runs for India Against New Zealand in ODIs

Kohli has played 31 ODIs against New Zealand and scored 1,645 runs. If he adds 106 more runs on Sunday, he will overtake Sachin Tendulkar’s record (1,750 runs) and become India’s highest run-scorer against the Black Caps.

4. Most Centuries Against New Zealand in ODIs

The 36-year-old star batter has scored six centuries in ODIs against New Zealand. If he scores another hundred, he will become the first batter in the world to hit seven centuries against the Kiwis, surpassing legends like Virender Sehwag and Ricky Ponting, who also have six centuries each.

5. Most 50+ Scores In Champions Trophy and ICC ODI Tournaments

Kohli has recorded six 50+ scores in the Champions Trophy and 23 in ICC ODI tournaments (World Cup + Champions Trophy). A half-century against New Zealand will make him the first batter to register seven 50+ scores in the Champions Trophy and 24 in ICC ODI events.
