A century, a half -century and Team India won twice and won. Virat Kohli's performance in the Champions Trophy has been similar so far. Kohli's old style has made the fans happy and at the same time he has also raised hope that he will be able to play more years. But the truth is also that now gradually opportunities will be reduced for Kohli and one such opportunity is going to meet him in the Champions Trophy final, where he has the last chance to make another big record in this tournament.

The final of the Champions Trophy will be played between India and New Zealand on Sunday 9 March.

A match has already been played between the two teams in this tournament, which was won by Team India. Once again, the Indian team will land with this intention so that the title comes in its bag. However, Virat was dismissed early in that match. In such a situation, in this final, he will come down to equalize the previous account from New Zealand.

Virat closer to becoming number-1 batsman

Although Virat Kohli's first wish will be to see Team India becoming champions, but one of his desire will also be that he can contribute to this success. If he plays a strong innings in the final, then Team India is sure to get the benefit of this, but it will also be very special for Virat because he can also become the most successful batsman of the Champions Trophy.

In fact, Virat Kohli is second in terms of scoring the most runs in the history of this tournament. Kohli has scored 217 runs in the current tournament, due to which he has a total of 746 runs in the history of the Champions Trophy. Ahead of him is now only Chris Gayle, who scored the most 791 runs. In such a situation, if Virat makes 46 runs in the final, then he will break this record of Gayle and become the number-1 batsman.

Kohli has last chance in final

Seeing Virat's current form, it seems to be expected to happen. But he also has the last chance to name this record. If they miss this time, then they will not get the next chance. This is because the next Champions Trophy will be played in India in 2029 after 4 years. In the same way, Kohli's career is under question, so it is clear that after 4 years he will not return. In such a situation, Kohli would like to make Team India a champion and also want to name this record.
