Virat Kohli on the verge of breaking Sachin Tendulkar's big record

Virat Kohli is on the brink of overtaking Sachin Tendulkar as the leading run‑scorer for India in One‑Day Internationals played in New Zealand. Kohli has amassed 514 runs in 11 ODIs on New Zealand soil and needs 139 more to surpass Tendulkar’s 652 runs from 18 matches.

Tendulkar currently tops the list with a highest score of 163 not out, while Virender Sehwag sits second with 598 runs and MS Dhoni fourth with 505.

India will open the five‑match series against New Zealand at Eden Park in Auckland, with Shubman Gill confirming a top‑order of himself, Rohit Sharma, Kohli and Shreyas Iyer, and a flexible approach for the No 5 and No 6 spots involving KL Rahul and Axar Patel.
