India star batter Virat Kohli will have a chance to script history when he steps out to bat against Australia on Tuesday in the semi-finals of the ICC Champions Trophy. The 36-year-old is just 40 runs away from becoming India’s top-scorer in the Champions Trophy.
Kohli currently has 662 runs under his name in 15 innings of 16 Champions Trophy matches played so far across 4 editions. If he is able to score 40 runs against the Baggy Greens, then he will surpass former India batter Shikhar Dhawan’s tally of 701 runs in the tournament.
Dhawan played 10 matches for India in the Champions Trophy across 2 editions and was fantastic for the Men in Blue in both of those campaigns. He scored 3 half-centuries and centuries each in the ICC event.
Kohli looked in good touch during the group stages of the ongoing Champions Trophy, even scoring an incredible unbeaten century against arch-rivals Pakistan to guide India to victory. He will be looking to continue this form in the highly-important clash against the Baggy Greens on Tuesday.
The semi-final clash will be Kohli’s 50th ODI against Australia. In his last ODI against the Aussies, Kohli scored an impressive fifty. Both the Indian team and fans will be hoping that he can put in a good batting performance in the crucial match.
