Cricket fans are buzzing today. India’s set to take on New Zealand in the third and final ODI in Indore, and everyone’s watching Virat Kohli, who’s sitting at 84 international centuries right now, and folks are eager to see if he’ll hit number 85 today.
Kohli’s been on fire this series. In the first match, he hammered out 93 runs, just seven short of a century. That close call just proves he’s in top form. He’s striking the ball cleanly, running hard, and honestly, he looks hungry.
The match is at Holkar Cricket Stadium, where the boundaries are short, and the pitch is flat. Batters love it here. Runs usually flow, and Kohli’s no stranger to making the most of these conditions. He’s great at finding gaps and using the ball’s pace. This is the series decider, so the tension’s up and the thing is, Kohli is known to thrive under pressure.
He just grabbed the number one spot in the ODI rankings again. That says it all, he’s still the best around in this format. The New Zealand bowlers will come hard at him. They got him out cheaply last time, but let’s be real, Kohli doesn’t stay quiet for long.
So, will he do it? He’s got the skill, he’s got the pitch, and if he settles in early, that 85th century is definitely within reach. Fans everywhere are hoping for that signature celebration. Feels like today could be one of those special days in cricket history.
