The fifth and final T20I between India and New Zealand will take place in Hamilton on Sunday, November 1. Once the T20I series concludes, the two teams will shift their attention to a five-match ODI contest, beginning on November 4.

Virat Kohli will be one of the biggest attractions of the upcoming series, with the experienced batter having an opportunity to achieve another remarkable milestone. He could move past legendary Indian cricketers Sachin Tendulkar and Sourav Ganguly in the list of players with the most sixes in ODI cricket.

Virat Kohli Eyes Sachin Tendulkar's Record

Since making his ODI debut in 2008, Kohli has established himself as one of the greatest batters in the format.

He has accumulated 15,109 runs in 317 matches and 305 innings at an impressive average of 58.78. His tally includes 55 centuries and 79 half-centuries, while he has also smashed 181 sixes.

Kohli is currently behind Sachin Tendulkar and Sourav Ganguly in the list of Indian batters with the most ODI sixes. Tendulkar finished his international career with 195 maximums in the format, while Ganguly struck 190.

If Kohli manages to hit 15 sixes during the upcoming five-match series against New Zealand, he will go past both former Indian captains and reach 196 ODI sixes.
