New Delhi: India skipper Virat Kohli re-wrote the international cricket record books once again during the 3rd T2OI against New Zealand being played at the Seddon Park in Auckland.

Dhoni to achieve the milestone. Kohli is currently at the third spot behind New Zealand skipper Kane Williamson (1148) and South Africa captain Faf du Plessis (1,273).
