“India’s Dominance Unleashed: Record-breaking Triumph in 2023 World Cup Semi-Final India vs New Zealand”
A breathtaking semi-final match saw India win against their tough opposition of New Zealand on Wednesday at the 2023 World Cup. The New Zealand team had a great show but did not have enough runs on the board as it managed only 327 despite a spectacular century by Daryl Mitchell and important contributions from the captain Kane Williamson.
However, the Indian team also displayed amazing strength and set various records which could never be erased from the history of cricket.
Virat Kohli: Surpassing the Master Blaster
He was instrumental in India’s victory, but more on his performance later. His century not only anchored the team but also catapulted him into the record books:
-Most ODI Centuries by an Indian: The fifth-time ODI century of Kohli was more than the 49 centuries made by Tendulkar who is another star player thereby making him the best century-maker in the ODIs.
-Most Runs in a Single World Cup Edition: Kohli’s aggregate of 711 runs in the 2023 World Cup is more than the record of 673 runs by Tendulkar in the 2003 games, setting Kohli as the highest individual scorer in one World Cup.
