In the upcoming second ODI, at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Wednesday, against West Indies, former India skipper Virat Kohli will be having a chance of joining the legendary Sachin Tendulkar and MS Dhoni in Indian cricket’s historic list. Having featured in 99 ODI matches in India during his illustrious career, Kohli stands on the verge of reaching the milestone of 100 ODIs at home when he will be taking the field on Wednesday against Kieron Pollard’s men.

Virat Kohli will become the 36th cricketer to play a century of ODI matches at home and the fifth among Indians which includes Tendulkar (164 matches), Dhoni (127 matches), Mohammad Azharuddin (113 matches), and Yuvraj Singh (108 matches).

In 99 ODIs so far, Virat Kohli has amassed 5002 runs. With his score of 8 of 4 in the first ODI against West Indies, Kohli had managed to complete the milestone of 5000 ODI runs at home, becoming the fastest Indian cricketer ever to breach that mark, breaking Tendulkar’s record who needed 112 innings to amass that figure.

Talking about the series, India has already taken to take a 1-0 lead with their six-wicket victory on Sunday. India’s new ODI skipper Rohit Sharma scored a brilliant 51-ball 60 before Yuzvendra Chahal’s impressive spell of 4 for 49 as India made a comeback after witnessing a forgettable South Africa tour to clinch their first international victory in 2022.

India had earlier witnessed a whitewash in a three-match series in South Africa which was preceded by back-to-back Test defeats to Dean Elgar’s men. But India came out all guns blazing on Sunday restricting West Indies to just 176 all-out in 43.5 overs before chasing down the target in just 28 overs.

India will be aiming to emulate their performance in the second ODI as well on Wednesday and seal the series. The final tie will be played at the same venue on February 11.
