Virat Kohli has changed his mind, so now his magic will be seen. Earlier Virat Kohli was not going to play in the ODI series against Sri Lanka. But, now he will be seen playing. He has also been selected in the ODI team for the Sri Lanka tour. It is being said that Virat has taken the decision to play in Sri Lanka on the advice of Gautam Gambhir. Whatever may be the reason, but now two things seem certain to happen, first, 1000 runs against Sri Lanka and second, writing the script of becoming the Sixer King.

Now you must be thinking that the ODI series with Sri Lanka is of only 3 matches, then how will Virat Kohli score 1000 runs in that? Another important question is how can Virat Kohli become the Sixer King? He does not even have that many sixes in international cricket? So let's find the answers to these two questions one by one.

Virat can score 1000 runs against Sri Lanka

Virat Kohli can score 1000 runs in the ODI series against Sri Lanka. Here 1000 runs means the number of runs he has scored against Sri Lanka in ODIs. Virat Kohli has currently scored 865 runs in 22 ODIs against Sri Lanka. He has scored these runs with 4 centuries and an average of 50.88. That is, to complete 1000 runs in ODIs against Sri Lanka, Virat needs 135 runs in the 3 ODI series.

By the way, Virat Kohli has scored more than 1000 runs on Sri Lankan soil. He has scored 1028 runs with 5 centuries in 28 matches in Sri Lanka so far and his average is 48.95.

Will break Ponting's record by becoming Sixer King!

Virat Kohli will also have a chance to become the Sixer King in the ODI series against Sri Lanka. In fact, he is just 3 sixes away from becoming the batsman who has hit the most sixes while batting at number 3 in international cricket. Currently, Virat Kohli has 214 sixes and he is at number two after Ricky Ponting's record of 217 sixes. Now if Virat hits 4 sixes in 3 ODIs against Sri Lanka, then he can become the number 3 Sixer King in international cricket.
