India’s run machine, Virat Kohli, is set to feature in his 300th ODI during India’s Champions Trophy 2025 league-stage clash against New Zealand at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium on Sunday.
In a country like India, where cricket has always held the top spot, making it into the Indian cricket team is extremely difficult. Even for those who get a chance, sustaining their place in the squad is an even tougher challenge. However, Kohli has not only excelled in white-ball cricket but has also been a strong pillar for the Indian team in Test cricket.
Now, as he approaches this remarkable achievement, Kohli will become the seventh Indian cricketer to appear in 300 ODIs, joining an elite club that includes Mohammad Azharuddin, Sachin Tendulkar, MS Dhoni, Rahul Dravid, Sourav Ganguly, and Yuvraj Singh.
But do you know how many players have reached this milestone before him? Take a look at the full list of international cricketers who have played 300+ ODIs.
