Team India will play all the matches of this tournament in Dubai. Team India will play its three league matches in Dubai and if it reaches the semi-finals and finals, then those matches will also be held in Dubai.

Virat Kohli can also score a 'triple century' in this tournament. Let us know what is the whole matter?

Virat Kohli will score a 'triple century'

Virat Kohli has a chance to score a triple century in the Champions Trophy matches. Meaning, Virat Kohli has played 295 ODI matches so far and 300 of his ODI matches can be in the Champions Trophy. If Virat Kohli plays all three matches of the ODI series against England, then the match against Pakistan in the Champions Trophy will be his 300th ODI. The match between India and Pakistan is to be held on 23 February.

Virat has last chance to become number 1

Virat Kohli also has the last chance to score the most runs in the Champions Trophy. Virat Kohli has scored 529 runs in the Champions Trophy. Chris Gayle has the highest score of 791 runs in this tournament. Meaning, if Virat scores 263 more runs, he will become the highest run scorer in the history of this tournament. During this time, he can also surpass Shikhar Dhawan, who has 701 runs in his name in the Champions Trophy. This is being said to be the last chance for Virat Kohli to become number 1 because this tournament will be held after this in 2029 and till that time it will be difficult for Virat to continue playing in the ODI format.
