New Delhi: Team India's star batsman Virat Kohli's bat is doing very well against Sri Lanka in the ODI format. King Kohli has so far scored 2632 runs in 53 innings in ODIs alone. During this, his average is 61.2 and he has 10 centuries and 12 half-centuries to his name.

At the same time, in the current ODI series, Virat Kohli has not been able to do anything special in the two matches played so far. Kohli scored just 14 runs in two matches. In the second ODI, Virat Kohli got caught in the trap of Sri Lankan spinner Jeffrey Vandersay and returned to the pavilion cheaply.

Now everyone is expecting a great innings from him in the third ODI match. In this match, King Kohli will be eyeing to break the international cricket record of the great cricketer Sachin Tendulkar.

Virat Kohli will complete 27000 runs in international cricket as soon as he scores 78 runs

The third ODI match between India and Sri Lanka is to be played on August 7, in which if Virat Kohli scores 78 runs, he will complete his 27000 runs in international cricket.

Only three cricketers have been able to achieve this feat in international cricket, which includes Sachin Tendulkar from India, Kumar Sangakkara from Sri Lanka and Ricky Ponting from Australia. Virat Kohli has scored 26,992 runs in international cricket so far.

Will Virat Kohli score a century in the third ODI of Ind vs SL?

Virat Kohli has not been able to do anything special with the bat in the first two matches of the ODI series being played against Sri Lanka. Kohli became a victim of leg spinners and returned to the pavilion cheaply, but in the third ODI match, there is hope of a special innings from the 35-year-old Virat.

If Kohli scores a century in this match, he will complete 14000 runs in the 50 over format. Kohli needs 114 runs and once he scores this many runs, he will leave behind great cricketers Sachin Tendulkar and Kumar Sangakkara.

Sachin Tendulkar and Kumar Sangakkara took 350 and 378 innings respectively to score 14000 runs in ODIs. Now if Kohli scores 114 runs (282 innings), he will become the fastest player to score 14000 runs in ODI cricket.
