Virat Kohli’s ODI record at Thiruvananthapuram ahead of India v West Indies series

Virat Kohli will be in action for India when the three-match ODI series against the West Indies begins on September 27 at the Greenfield International Stadium in Thiruvananthapuram, and he has scored 199 runs in the two ODIs played at that ground.

As one of the greatest batsmen in cricket history, Kohli remains a central figure for supporters; alongside Rohit Sharma he has been described as a backbone of the Indian side. The source notes Kohli is currently in the twilight phase of his professional career and could retire after the 2027 ICC Cricket World Cup. India have a perfect record at the Greenfield venue, having won both ODIs staged there to date.

India have used the Greenfield International Stadium for only two ODIs: on 1 November 2018 against the West Indies and again in January 2023 versus Sri Lanka. Those two matches constitute the full sample of Kohli’s ODI appearances at the Thiruvananthapuram venue.

In the 1 November 2018 fixture India bowled out the West Indies for 104 and completed the run chase in 14.5 overs with nine wickets in hand; Rohit Sharma reached a half-century in that match while Virat Kohli scored 33. The match information and scoreline come from the same venue records cited in the sources.

When India returned to Greenfield in January 2023 they posted 390 in the first innings; Kohli produced an unbeaten innings of 166, striking 13 fours and 8 sixes. Sri Lanka failed in the chase and lost the match by 317 runs, completing the hosts’ second victory at the ground.

Kohli’s two innings at Thiruvananthapuram total 199 runs, and his next appearance at the ground will come when India open the three-match ODI series against the West Indies on September 27 at the Greenfield International Stadium.
