Virat Kohli: The first match of the three-match ODI series between India and Sri Lanka is scheduled to start at 2:30 pm at the R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo. Before this, Virat Kohli’s statistics are giving sleepless nights to the opposing team.

The three-match ODI series between India and Sri Lanka is going to start from today. The first match is to be played at the R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo. Through this series, Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, who are called the heart and heart of Team India, will return to the field. After giving India the second title in the T20 World Cup, both these legends were on rest and were spending time with their families. Recently, India clean swept Sri Lanka in the T20 series. Now it is the turn of ODIs. Sri Lanka has the challenge of saving itself from a clean sweep, because the Men in Blue have many great players. The biggest threat is King Kohli, who is a heavyweight over the entire Sri Lankan team.

Virat Kohli is the most reliable batsman of Team India. He has scored 50 centuries in ODIs. Whenever he has played against Sri Lanka, he has scored runs. Kohli is the biggest threat for this team because he is the second highest run scorer from India. Kohli’s batting average is more than 100 at the R Premadasa ground where the first match is to be played.

Virat Kohli is a burden on the entire Sri Lankan team

In fact, the number of runs Virat has scored in his ODI career is more than the combined score of all the 16 players of the Sri Lankan team. This figure proves that Kohli is ahead of the entire Sri Lankan team. Virat has played 292 ODI matches, in which he has 13848 runs with a good average of 58.68, he has scored 50 fifties, while the total runs of all the 16 players of Sri Lanka’s squad are 12,885. This means that Kohli is 963 runs ahead of them. All the Sri Lankan players together have scored 17 centuries.

Virat’s statistics in Colombo are amazing

The first ODI between India and Sri Lanka is to be held at the R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo. Kohli’s bat works well here. It would not be wrong if he was called the real king here. Kohli has played 11 ODIs on this ground and has scored 644 runs at an average of 107.33, which includes 4 centuries and a fifty. Among the players who have played more than 10 ODIs in Colombo, Kohli is the only batsman to have an average of 100 plus.
