What is Virat Kohli's ODI record at the Adelaide Oval?

Virat Kohli has an impressive record in ODIs at the Adelaide Oval.

After losing the opening game, Indian Cricket Team are gearing up for the second ODI against Australian Cricket Team, which will take place on Thursday, October 23 at the Adelaide Oval, Adelaide. It will be a do-or-die game for the Men in Blue as they trail 1-0 in the three-match series and need to win the next clash to keep their chances of series victory alive.

Virat Kohli will be in the spotlight during the second ODI due to two crucial reasons. To begin with, he was gone for a duck in the first game in Perth, marking the first instance when he got out without scoring a run in an ODI game in Australia. It will be interesting to see how he makes a comeback in the second game.

Secondly, Kohli owns a wonderful record at the Adelaide Oval in 50-over cricket so far, hence, fans will expect him to continue with his dominance at the Australian venue in the upcoming game. The former India captain has made his comeback to international cricket after seven months for the Australia tour, having last played in ICC Champions Trophy 2025 in March.

He scored 104 runs against Australia at the venue in his last ODI at the venue in January 2019. Prior to that, he stormed a ton against Pakistan during ICC Cricket World Cup 2015, hitting 107 runs off 126 deliveries.

Meanwhile, Australia crushed India by seven wickets in the opening game at the Optus Stadium in Perth on Sunday, October 19. Due to rain, the encounter was shortened by 26 overs per innings.

Led by Mitchell Marsh in the absence of captain Pat Cummins, the Men in Yellow restricted the visitors for 136/9 in the first innings, demolishing their top order after opting to bowl first. Later, Marsh played a patient knock of an unbeaten 46 runs to lead the team to victory within 22 overs.
