New Zealand Group: During the India-New Zealand Group A clash in the 2025 Champions Trophy, talismanic batter Virat Kohli became the seventh Indian men’s player to play 300 ODI games. He is also the 22nd player overall to get to the illustrious landmark in international cricket.
However, the star batter couldn't manage to stay longer on the crease as he was dismisse by Matt Henry for 11. Kohli nailed a full-blooded cut but Glenn Phillips flew to his right at backward point to pouch a one-handed stunner, leaving Kohli and fans stunned.
As expected, his India team-mates were featured in a video on bcci.tv, shared after India were put in to bat first by New Zealand at the Dubai International Stadium. “Virat bhai, many congratulations for playing 300 ODIs for India. May your journey over the years be full of discipline, dedication and hard work. I hope that you continue to play for India,” said wrist spinner Kuldeep Yadav.
