ICC ODI<\/strong>: There will be high hopes from senior batter Virat Kohli\u00a0<\/strong>when Team India take on New Zealand in the final of the 2025 Champions Trophy in Dubai on Sunday, March 9. The 36-year-old is India’s leading run-getter in the ICC event, with 217 runs from four innings at an average of 72.33 and a strike rate of 83.14, with one hundred and one half-century to his credit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kohli\u00a0was dismissed for 22 off 38 balls in India’s 2025 Champions Trophy opener against Bangladesh. The right-handed batter did not look in great rhythm and managed only one four during his stay at the crease. The former India captain, though, was in his element against Pakistan, scoring 100* off 111 balls as the Men in Blue chased down 242 in 42.3 overs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After perishing for 11 off 14 in India’s last group match against New Zealand, Kohli played a vital role in India’s four-wicket triumph over Australia in the 2025 Champions Trophy semifinal. After\u00a0India\u00a0were set 265 for victory, the former captain guided the chase with 84 off 98 balls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When it comes to one-day cricket, Kohli is often compared to white-ball legend and former captain MS Dhoni. In this feature, we compare the batting stats of the two superstars in ICC ODI tournament finals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Virat Kohli vs MS Dhoni<\/strong> – Who has performed better in ICC ODI World Cup finals?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Kohli has featured in two ICC ODI World Cup finals – 2011 and 2023. In two innings, he has 89 runs to his name at an average of 44.50 and a strike rate of 79.46, with one fifty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the\u00a02011 World Cup final\u00a0against Sri Lanka at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai, a young Kohli scored 35 off 49 balls. He added 83 runs for the third wicket with Gautam Gambhir (97) as the Men in Blue overcame a shaky start to chase down a target of 275.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
