The five-match ODI series between Team India and New Zealand is scheduled to kick off from November 4, with the first match set to be played at the Eden Park in Auckland

Both Virat Kohli and Sachin Tendulkar are currently level at 60 List A centuries, making him just one shy of becoming the batter with the most centuries in the List A format

Virat being an excellent chaser in international cricket, especially ODIs, is as obvious as the fact that 'water is wet'. In 179 ODIs and 168 innings, Virat has made 8,667 runs at an average of 66.16, with 30 centuries and 45 fifties while chasing. However, he is still 54 runs short of overcoming Sachin's all-time tally of 8,720 runs (in 242 matches with 17 centuries) for most runs in ODI run-chases

Over the years, the Delhi-born cricketer has made the number three spot in ODIs his own to the point it would be hard to imagine an Indian line-up without him at that spot. He is just 12 runs away from becoming the first-ever cricketer to have scored 13,000 ODI runs at number three

Both Virat and Sachin are currently tied at 133 fifty-plus scores against SENA nations in international cricket and the 'King' needs just one more fifty-plus score to surpass the 'God of Cricket' in this statistic. Virat has 45 centuries and 88 fifties against SENA nations in 320 matches, while Sachin has 50 centuries and 83 fifties in 328 matches against SENA nations
