• His performances include a century and a score of 84, helping India win against Pakistan and Australia.
• Against New Zealand in ODIs, Kohli averages 57 and has scored six centuries, including one in the 2023 World Cup semi-final.
• Indian fans will hope for another match-winning knock from Kohli in this big final.

Players to Watch Out For

1️⃣ Kane Williamson – New Zealand’s key batsman, known for handling pressure in big games.
2️⃣ Virat Kohli – India’s most reliable performer in ICC knockout matches.
