Virat Kohli on verge of breaking multiple records

India batting great Virat Kohli will once again be in the limelight as he is on the verge of breaking multiple records when India will lock horns against New Zealand in the ICC Champions Trophy final on Sunday.

The highly-anticipated game will be played at the Dubai International Stadium on Sunday, March 09, with India walking in as favourites to clinch the trophy.

However, it could be Virat Kohli’s night once again as he is nearing to make history again.

For starters, earlier in the tournament, when Kohli struck a masterful ton against arch-rivals Pakistan, he became the leading runs getter for India in the tournament history.

He followed it up with an instrumental 84-run know against Australia in the first semi-final, which put him behind Chirs Gayle, who is top runs getter in the tournament.

Most runs in Champions Trophy:

Chris Gayle (West Indies): 791 runs in 17 innings

Shikhar Dhawan (India): 701 runs in 10 innings

Kumar Sangakkara (Sri Lanka): 683 runs in 22 innings

Moreover, King Kohli is just 55 runs away from surpassing Kumar Sangakkara to becoming the second-leading run-scorer in the ODI history.

Kohli has scored 14180 runs in the format in 301 innings, and is just 55 runs short of Sangakkara’s tally of 14234 runs.
