Virat Kohli is the top-scoring batter in this edition of the World Cup. The talismanic batter will be determined to play a big knock and lead the team into the final.
Digital Desk: In the ongoing Cricket World Cup 2023, India's Virat Kohli is playing in a magnificent form. In nine matches, the star batter has scored 594 runs with a strike rate of 88.52 and an average of 99. With a high score of 103 not out, the hitter who is one down has two hundreds and five half-centuries. Virat Kohli scored 335 runs at an average of 83.75 and a strike rate of 87.24 in the last five matches of the Cricket World Cup 2023.
There is no doubt that during Wednesday's semi-final clash against New Zealand, Kohli will be the centre of attention. The possibility that Kohli would break three significant records held by legendary batsman Sachin Tendulkar is what makes his performance in the game even more interesting.
Following two hundred in the current World Cup of Cricket, Kohli tied Sachin Tendulkar's record of 49 ODI tons. Kohli will become the first hitter to knock 50 ODI century with another hundred.
Remarkably, Tendulkar also owns the record for most runs scored in a single Cricket World Cup edition. Throughout the 2003 campaign, he scored 673 runs. With 594 runs ito his name, Kohli is only one strong knock away from breaking the record.
Kohli tied the record set by Sachin Tendulkar and Shakib Al Hasan for the most fifty-plus scores in a single World Cup edition last week with a 51-run knock against the Netherlands. If Kohli can get another fifty-plus score in the current World Cup, it would be his seventh and he will have an opportunity to surpass the two.
