Virat Kohli’s ODI record at Guwahati’s Barsapara Stadium

Virat Kohli will feature for India against West Indies in the second ODI of the series on Wednesday, September 30, at the Barsapara Cricket Stadium in Guwahati, Assam.

One of the most experienced members of India’s ODI squad, the 37-year-old former captain is noted for his effectiveness in run chases and has scored 25 centuries in ODI cricket during successful chases, the most by any player. The article states he shows no signs of slowing down because of his mental toughness and fitness, and it adds that, with the Indian team preparing for the upcoming ODI World Cup next year in the African continent, fans have only a handful of assured chances to see him in Indian colours.

Kohli’s record at Barsapara comprises two ODI appearances in which he has scored a combined 253 runs at an average of 126. India have won both of the two ODIs they have played at the venue.

In October 2018, Kohli made 140 off 107 deliveries against the West Indies while chasing a target of 323. He teamed up with Rohit Sharma to complete that chase.

India returned to Barsapara five years later to face Sri Lanka, where Kohli scored 113 from 87 balls, striking 12 fours and one six. Those two innings account for his 253 runs at the ground.

The piece concludes that Kohli’s performances in Guwahati contribute to a confident outlook for the Men in Blue when preparing for fixtures at the venue.

India’s confirmed next fixture at Barsapara is the second ODI against West Indies on Wednesday, September 30.
