9 Records Virat Kohli Can Break In Champions Trophy 2025
Indian cricket star Virat Kohli is expected to play a pivotal role in the 2025 ICC Champions Trophy, which kicks off on Wednesday, February 19. This year's tournament will feature eight teams, with India set to play all their matches in Dubai. After a challenging five-match Test series against Australia last year, Kohli bounced back with a solid 52-run performance in India's recent ODI against England on February 12 at Narendra Modi Stadium.
Both the Indian team management and supporters will be hoping that Kohli continues his positive form in the Champions Trophy and contributes to India's pursuit of a third title in the competition's history. With 13,963 runs from 297 ODIs, Kohli has the opportunity to set new records during the tournament.
Most Runs In The Champions Trophy
Kohli, with 529 runs, ranks 11th in Champions Trophy history. Since none of the top ten run-scorers will play in 2025, he has a clear path to the top. With 262 more runs, he can surpass Chris Gayle’s 791 and become the tournament's leading run-scorer.
Most Runs For India In The CT
With 529 runs so far, Kohli is just 173 runs away from surpassing Shikhar Dhawan’s 701 and becoming India’s highest run-scorer in the Champions Trophy. Along the way, he will also overtake legends like Rahul Dravid (627) and Sourav Ganguly (665).
Second-Most Runs In ODI History
Kohli, with 13,963 runs, needs 271 more to surpass Kumar Sangakkara’s 14,234 and become the second-highest run-scorer in ODI history. Sachin Tendulkar’s 18,426 is out of reach for now. Kohli’s consistency could see him claim the runner-up spot.
