The former India captain has a strong record at the venue and will have several milestones within reach during the series. With India’s ODI series against West Indies beginning on Sunday, Virat Kohli will look to extend that record while also closing in on some major ODI landmarks.
Five years later, Kohli produced one of his most memorable ODI innings at the same ground. He smashed an unbeaten 166 off 110 balls against Sri Lanka in January 2023, helping India post 390/5 before bowling the visitors out for 73. His innings included 13 fours and eight sixes, while India completed a 317-run victory.
Virat Kohli's performance against West Indies in ODIs over the years
Kohli has enjoyed considerable success against West Indies in ODI cricket, although his returns have varied across different series. His biggest series came in 2018, when he scored 453 runs in five innings at an extraordinary average of 151.00. That series included three centuries, with Kohli scoring 140 in Guwahati, 157 in Visakhapatnam and 107 in Pune.
However, his recent numbers against West Indies have been less productive. He managed only 89 runs at 29.66 in the 2019 series and followed it with 26 runs at 8.66 across three innings in the 2022 series. His last two ODI series against West Indies are therefore his lowest-scoring series against the team.
Virat Kohli eyes major ODI records as India face West Indies
The milestone could also see Virat Kohli move to the top of the list for the fastest 15,000 ODI runs. Tendulkar reached the landmark in 377 innings, while Kohli currently has 302 innings. Even if Kohli needs all three matches of the series to collect the required runs, he would still reach 15,000 in significantly fewer innings than Tendulkar.
Kohli can also overtake Tendulkar as the highest run-scorer in ODIs in India. Tendulkar accumulated 6,976 runs in 164 home ODIs, while Kohli has 6,867 runs from 130 matches at an average of 62.42. He therefore needs 110 runs in the series to move past Tendulkar's tally.
