Virat Kohli will be the most-eyed player as he is just one century away from registering a record for most ODI centuries in cricketing history. With this, he will also level Virender Sehwag's record of most ODI centuries by an Indian batsman against New Zealand.

Kiwi's opening batsman Rachin Ravindra has smashed three centuries in the ICC World Cup 2023 and had smashed 75 runs in his last faceoff against the 'Men in Blue'. He is falling short of one century to share the spot with Quinton de Kock of most centuries by a player in the ICC World Cup 2023 which is four.
