Vadodara. In the first ODI played between India and New Zealand, Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma registered historical records in their respective names. This match played in Vadodara added another golden chapter in the career of two of the biggest stars of Indian cricket.

Virat Kohli completed 28,000 international runs
Virat Kohli completed 28,000 runs in international cricket in the first ODI against New Zealand. He achieved this historic feat by hitting a powerful shot on the ball of New Zealand spinner Aditya Ashok. With this, Kohli became the third batsman in the world after Sachin Tendulkar and Kumar Sangakkara to complete 28,000 runs in international cricket. The special thing was that Kohli achieved this feat in just 624 innings, making him the fastest batsman to reach this figure. Sachin Tendulkar had achieved this milestone in 644 innings. Whereas, it took 666 innings for Kumar Sangakkara to achieve this feat.

Kohli missed a century against New Zealand
Kohli is continuously setting new standards in scoring runs. Before this, he had also become the fastest batsman to complete 25,000, 26,000 and 27,000 international runs. His performance in the ODI format at the end of the 2025 calendar year has been excellent. Back-to-back centuries against South Africa and centuries and half-centuries in the home Vijay Hazare Trophy are proof of his excellent form. In the match against New Zealand, King Kohli played a explosive inning of 93 runs in 91 balls. However, he missed the century.

Rohit Sharma also achieved a big achievement
In this match, Indian opener Rohit Sharma also made a historic record in his name. Rohit Sharma has now become the batsman who has hit the most sixes in international cricket. He hit his 650th international six in this match and became the first player in history to achieve this feat. Not only this, Rohit Sharma also broke the record of hitting most sixes as an opener in ODI cricket. He left behind West Indies legend Chris Gayle. However, Rohit could not play a big innings in this match and was out after scoring 26 runs, but his innings of two skyscraper sixes registered him in history.
