Eyes will be on Kohli
Team India’s star batsman Virat Kohli was a complete failure in the Perth ODI. This time a big innings is expected from him. Since the flop in Perth, Kohli has paid special attention to his batting and has been seen continuously practicing in the nets. He has a golden opportunity to make many important records in Adelaide.
Opportunity to create new history in Adelaide
Virat Kohli is just 25 runs away from completing 1000 runs in international cricket at Adelaide. He will become the first player on this field to do so. Apart from this, if he scores a century, he will also achieve the distinction of becoming the batsman who has scored the most number of ODI centuries in Adelaide.
Keep an eye on Sachin Tendulkar’s record
Kohli is targeting another achievement, which till now is only in the name of Master Blaster Sachin Tendulkar. If he scores 25 runs, he will become the second Indian player to score 2500 ODI runs against Australia. The special thing will be that he can become the first cricketer to touch this figure in less than 50 innings.
A new world record can be created with a century
Virat Kohli also has a chance to become the first player to score 52 centuries in any one format of international cricket. If he scores a century in Adelaide, this historic achievement will be registered in his name.
