After a 1-0 win in the Test series, India will turn their attention to continuing with the momentum in the upcoming ODI series versus West Indies, starting July 27. India and West Indies will be involved in a three-match series followed by a five-match assignment in the 20-over format. With the ICC World Cup 2023 in India later this year, the ODI series will be a key factor for India. This is a new beginning for WI as they failed to make the cut for the main event, performing miserably in the ICC ODI World Cup Qualifiers. India has plenty of options and some new faces in the ODI squad, making things interesting. In terms of records and milestones, several interesting numbers are on offer, and here we present the same ahead of a crucial series.
KOHLI CAN GET TO 13000 ODI RUNS
Senior Indian batter Virat Kohli has scored 12898 runs at an average of 57.32. He is 102 runs short of the 13000-run mark. Kohli, who recently smashed his 29th century in the longest format, is in line to become the fifth player in ODI cricket with 13000-plus runs. He can join the likes of Sachin Tendulkar (18426), Kumar Sangakkara (14234), Ricky Ponting (13734), and Sanath Jayasuriya (13430).
FASTEST TO 13000 ODI RUNS
Kohli is set to become the fastest to 13000 ODI runs. Sachin holds the record in terms of innings (321). Kohli has so far featured in just 265 ODI innings.
KOHLI CAN ACHIEVE THESE KEY ODI NUMBERS AWAY FROM HOME
34-year-old Kohli has smashed 5333 ODI runs away (home of opposition) and can get to the mark of 5500. Notably, he has scored 5447 runs at home and 2118 runs in neutral venues, as per ESPNcricinfo. Kohli is set to surpass 500 ODI fours away. He owns 496 fours so far.
