'I expect two hundreds from him' - Mohammad Kaif backs Virat Kohli to excel in NZ vs IND 2026 ODIs

Former international cricketer Mohammad Kaif has expressed strong confidence in Virat Kohli ahead of the upcoming five-match one-day international series against New Zealand, predicting that the veteran batter will register two centuries during the tour. Speaking via his online channel, Kaif pointed to the player's impressive historical statistics against this specific opponent and his ability to thrive in demanding overseas conditions as reasons for the bold forecast.

The opening game of the upcoming bilateral contest is scheduled to take place at Eden Park on November 4. Kohli brings substantial momentum into the fixtures following strong performances earlier in the year, including a productive outing during the January series against the same side where he recorded a top score of 124.
