Virat Kohli and Sachin Tendulkar
The Indian cricket team Champions Trophy is just one win away from the 2025 title. In the final of the tournament, Team India will face New Zealand in Dubai on March 9, where the two teams will go aim to win the trophy. In this final match, everyone’s eyes will be on Virat Kohli, who are in great form in the tournament and are contributing continuously with the bat. This is the reason why he is ranked fourth in the highest number of runs in the Champions Trophy 2025. He has played 4 matches so far and has scored 217 runs thanks to 1 century and 1 half -century. Kohli’s target will now have a great record of scoring the most runs in the tournament.
Will Virat Kohli create history?
If Virat Kohli manages to play a big innings in the final, he will become the highest run -scorer in the Champions Trophy history. Currently, this record is named after Chris Gayle. Gayle scored 791 runs in 17 matches of the Champions Trophy. At the same time, Kohli has 746 runs in 16 innings of 17 matches. He will beat Gayle as he scored 46 runs in the title match against New Zealand.
Virat Kohli will also be eyeing Sachin Tendulkar’s very big record in the final of the Champions Trophy. If Kohli is successful in scoring 128 runs, he will become the highest run -scorer in the knockout matches of the ICC ODI event, leaving Sachin Tendulkar behind. Currently, Sachin Tendulkar tops India’s most successful batsmen in the knockout matches of the ICC ODI event. Master Blaster has 657 runs, while Virat Kohli is in second place for 530 runs.
