Kohli Nears 28,000 Runs: Fastest Ever Milestone Imminent

Virat Kohli is poised to achieve a remarkable batting milestone in the upcoming first ODI against New Zealand in Vadodara. He stands just 25 runs away from becoming the swiftest player to amass 28,000 runs in international cricket, a feat that would place him among the sport's most distinguished batsmen.

Kohli's consistent performance since last October, highlighted by recent centuries in ODIs and the Vijay Hazare Trophy, demonstrates his current peak form. He has accumulated 27,975 runs across formats, with 14,557 in ODIs, 9,230 in Tests, and 4,188 in T20Is, supported by numerous centuries and half-centuries.

The Indian squad for the series sees Shubman Gill captaining, with key players like Hardik Pandya and Jasprit Bumrah rested. Shreyas Iyer's inclusion post-injury and Rishabh Pant's retained spot are notable selections for the upcoming matches.
