Team India and Virat Kohli are all set to feature in a series-deciding clash of the ongoing series against South Africa, as the two sides will cross swords in the third and final One-Day International ODI at the Dr. Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium in Vizag, Visakhapatnam on Saturday, December 6. This will be the eighth match for Virat Kohli at the venue in the 50-over internationals.
The game will be a special one for Virat, as he returns to bat at one of his most happy-hunting venues in white-ball cricket. For the unversed, no batter has scored more runs than the New Delhi-born in Visakhapatnam, defining the legacy that he has cemented at the iconic stadium courtesy of his brilliance with the bat.
Also known as the Run Machine, Virat is also the only batter to have crossed the 400-run mark in ODIs at this venue, having played seven matches here for his 587 runs. The second best on the list is Rohit Sharma, who has 355 runs at an average of 59.16 at Vizag. Virat, on the other hand, is in a whole different league, averaging a mind-boggling 97.83 in the seven outings.
