Virat Kohli has the opportunity to break three of Sachin Tendulkar's records in the New Zealand series

Indian cricket team star batter Virat Kohli could surpass the legendary Sachin Tendulkar by reaching three significant milestones during the upcoming ODI series against New Zealand. The five-match series, scheduled to be played from November 4 to 15, will also see a keen focus on Kohli’s individual performance.

Record for Most Centuries in List A Cricket

The first target before Kohli is the record for the most centuries in List A cricket. Currently, both Virat Kohli and Sachin Tendulkar have 60 centuries each to their names.

If Kohli manages to score one more century during the series against New Zealand, he will overtake Tendulkar and claim the top spot on this list.

Milestone for Runs Scored While Chasing in ODIs

The second record concerns the highest number of runs scored while chasing a target in One Day International (ODI) cricket.

So far, Virat Kohli has accumulated 8,667 runs while chasing, whereas Sachin Tendulkar has 8,720 runs to his name. Kohli requires another 54 runs to claim this record for himself.

Record for Half-Centuries Against CENA Countries

The third milestone relates to playing innings of 50 runs or more against CENA countries—a group that includes South Africa, England, New Zealand, and Australia.

To date, both Virat Kohli and Sachin Tendulkar have recorded 50-plus scores (half-centuries or greater) on 133 occasions against these nations. The five-match series against New Zealand will provide Kohli with an opportunity to surpass Tendulkar in this record as well. Consequently, the Indian batter will have the chance to claim three significant individual records within a single series.
