Virat Kohli Nears Historic Milestone: Set to Surpass Sangakkara's Record!

• Virat Kohli needs just 42 runs to become the second-highest run-scorer in men's international cricket, potentially surpassing Kumar Sangakkara.
• Kohli currently has 27,975 international runs, while Sangakkara has 28,016 runs in 666 innings; Kohli could achieve this in his 624th innings.
• He also aims to become India's highest ODI run-scorer against New Zealand, needing 93 runs to overtake Sachin Tendulkar's 1,750 runs.
• Kohli has been in superb form, with six consecutive fifty-plus scores in international and domestic 50-over cricket.
• The New Zealand series is seen as an ideal opportunity for Kohli to break records due to the absence of many frontline Kiwi bowlers.

Why It Matters: Virat Kohli is on the cusp of breaking two major international cricket records against New Zealand.
