Virat Kohli, fresh from his match-winning century against Pakistan at the Dubai International Stadium last week, took field for the 300th time in ODIs through the course of India’s final Group A match of the 2025 ICC Champions Trophy against New Zealand. Playing his landmark game, Kohli made an early arrival into the crease following the dismissal of in-form Indian opener Shubman Gill.

A modern-day batting behemoth, and one of the greatest ODI batters of all time, Virat Kohli holds some staggering records in the format. Moreover, at the 299-ODI mark, Kohli’s records and achievements stand in a league of their own, far surpassing those of most cricketers at the same stage of their careers.

Virat Kohli holds some staggering batting records in ODIs. Apart from being the third leading run-getter in the format behind Sachin Tendulkar and Kumar Sangakkara, Kohli is already the highest century-maker with 51 tons.

Moreover, the legendary Indian batter stands in a league of his own, if comparing his feat after 299 ODIs with other cricketers at the same stage of their respective careers.

Here is a look at Virat Kohli’s ODI numbers after 299 ODIs, and the difference he has with the second-best in all categories of the format.

As it turned out, Virat Kohli’s 300-ODI party turned out to be a disappointing affair for him and his fans as he was dismissed for just 11 runs against New Zealand.

Last week, he punched out his 51th ODI ton, and his fourth against Pakistan as Team India qualified for the semifinals of the 2025 ICC Champions Trophy.
