IND VS NZ live streaming: Check out upcoming records feat. Kohli, Guptill, Boult & Bumrah
Martin Guptill to complete 3000 T20I runs: Martin Guptill is one of the finest T20I batsmen New Zealand has ever produced. The 35-year-old is the leading run-scorer for the Black Caps, aggregating 2956 runs from 103 T20I matches. Guptill is just shy of 54 runs to achieve the feat of 3000 T20I runs. If he does so, he will be first New Zealand to accomplish this feat and second overall after Indian skipper Virat Kohli.
Trent Boult (47) to achieve 50 wickets in T20Is: Trent Boult is one of the key bowlers, alongside Tim Southee, Mitchell Santner and Ish Sodhi, for New Zealand in T20I. His pace and swing have often troubled top batsmen in recent times. The 32-year-old is currently the fourth-highest wicket-taker for New Zealand, scalping 47 wickets from 35 matches. Boult needs 3 wickets to complete 50 wickets in T20I matches. If he does so, he will become second New Zealand fast bowler after Tim Southee to achieve this feat.
Jasprit Bumrah to be India’s leading wicket-taker in T20Is: Jasprit Bumrah is one of the key bowlers for India and has often been instrumental in the team’s victory across all formats. The 28-year-old is well-known for delivering yorkers to dismiss the batsmen in crucial moments. Jasprit is currently the second-highest wicket-taker for India in T20Is, scalping 59 wickets from 51 matches. If Bumrah picks 5 wickets in Super 12 against New Zealand on Sunday in T20 World Cup, then he will be the highest wicket-taker for India in T20Is by surpassing Yuzvendra Chahal’s record of 63 wickets.
Virat Kohli – 13 fifties (44 inns)
India skipper Virat Kohli can go past Babar Azam’s record of most T20I fifties by a skipper. He is currently level with Pakistan captain and can reclaim the pole position on Sunday.
Most T20I boundaries feat Kohli
India skipper Virat Kohli is all set to become the first batsman in T20I with most boundaries. He has slammed 290 fours and in 91 matches and only falls behind Paul Stirling in the overall list.
100 sixes
Meanwhile, Virat Kohli can also complete 100 sixes in the shortest format. He has slammed 91 sixes in an equal number of matches. He can join Martin Guptill, Rohit Sharma, Chris Gayle, Eoin Morgan and Evin Lewis, Aaron Finch and Colin Munro in the list.
Notably, Kohli is the highest run-getter in T20Is with 3216 runs. Martin Guptill and Rohit Sharma are likely to breach the 3000-mark.
