Virat Kohli Eden Park Records: ODI Stats and Record vs New Zealand

Virat Kohli has three ODI appearances at Eden Park Main Stadium, Auckland, all as a batter: 59 runs from 93 balls at 19.67 and a 63.44 strike rate. The complete chronology is 6 against New Zealand in a 2014 tie, 38 against Zimbabwe in the 2015 World Cup win and 15 against New Zealand in 2020. The 2015 Zimbabwe match matters because this is a venue record, not a New Zealand-only record. These figures cover the source check of 3 November 2026; the scheduled 4 November 2026 India–New Zealand ODI was unplayed at that cutoff and is not an appearance. 145678

Key takeaways

• Kohli's current international format rows are 123 Tests, 317 ODIs and 125 T20Is, with 28,527 runs and nine wickets when those format-entry counts and raw totals are added. The aggregate is additive only; no cross-format average or rate is meaningful. 12
• His Eden Park ODI sample is markedly below his all-venue ODI career record: 59 runs at 19.67 and 63.44, compared with 15,109 at 58.79 and 94.37. 34
• Against New Zealand at every ODI venue, Kohli has 1,897 runs in 36 innings at 57.48, including seven hundreds and ten fifties. The aggregate opponent table does not publish balls faced or a complete New Zealand bowling split. 910
• In the opened venue-wide India tables, Virender Sehwag's 112 is the supported highest India innings, while Javagal Srinath's 12 wickets and his own 4/23 are the supported India bowling leaders in their respective sorted tables. The broader India aggregate-run, minimum-two-innings average, minimum-50-ball strike-rate and individual-appearance rankings remain unresolved rather than inferred. 171819

1. Overall international career records

Howstat's all-format overview is the controlling displayed row for the tables below, cross-checked against the ESPNcricinfo profile. The profiles differ by one hundredth on some displayed rates: for ODI average and strike rate, Howstat shows 58.79 and 94.37 while ESPNcricinfo shows 58.78 and 94.36; both source displays are retained rather than blended. 12

Career batting

Career bowling

A bowling average and bowling strike rate are undefined for the Test row because no wicket was recorded. That is different from an unavailable split and is not a zero rate. 12

Career fielding

The source tables publish catches and stumpings but not a complete standardized run-out-involvement total. Absence of that ledger is not evidence of zero. 12

Additive international counts

These are simple additions of the supplied rows. They do not create a cross-format batting average, bowling average, economy or strike rate. 12

2. Detailed ODI career

Kohli's detailed ODI row runs through his latest source-listed ODI on 3 October 2026. The Howstat profile is the controlling display; ESPNcricinfo supplies the cross-check and the one-hundredth rounding note above. 23

ODI batting profile

ODI bowling profile

The 317-match figure is the player's ODI match count, while 50 is the number of innings in which he bowled in the detailed bowling table. They are different scopes, so the match total should not be read as 50 bowling appearances. 3

ODI fielding profile

The 170-catch total is published by the controlling profile. A complete run-out ledger was not published in the supplied career sources, so no number is substituted. 3

3. Eden Park, Auckland ODI record

This section uses Eden Park Main Stadium, Howstat GroundCode 018 only. It excludes Outer Oval, domestic/List A matches, T20Is and other New Zealand grounds. The ground summary and filtered innings list reconcile to exactly three matches, three batting innings, 59 runs and 93 balls. 45

Eden Park ODI batting totals

The displayed average is 59 divided by three dismissals, and the displayed strike rate is 59 multiplied by 100 and divided by 93 balls. 45

Eden Park bowling and fielding

The venue source supports zero catches and zero stumpings, but its missing bowling fields mean unavailable, not zero. A no-wicket bowling rate is not manufactured from an absent venue split. 45

The venue total is therefore a small, clearly defined sample rather than a proxy for Kohli's wider record in New Zealand. It also includes the one non-New Zealand opponent at the ground: Zimbabwe in the 2015 World Cup. 457

4. Every ODI appearance at Eden Park, chronologically

The filtered player-ground chronology reports three and only three Kohli ODI innings at Main Eden Park. Each row below is linked to its opened scorecard. There are no DNB, no-result or abandoned-with-appearance rows in this complete chronology; consequently, every row has applicable runs, balls and strike rate. The scheduled 4 November 2026 match is not listed because it had not been played at the 3 November cutoff. 5678

Kohli's only score above 30 in the three-match sample was the 38 against Zimbabwe, and the six fours in the aggregate are fully accounted for by that innings (four) and the two fours in 2020. The two New Zealand innings total 21 runs from 45 balls, so the New Zealand-only venue slice is not interchangeable with the all-opponent venue row. 5678

5. ODI record against New Zealand at every venue

This is Kohli's all-venue ODI record against New Zealand, not his Eden Park subset. The opponent summary covers 36 matches and 36 innings through the source's listed chronology, including the 2026 scores of 93, 23 and 124. Its aggregate balls-faced field is unavailable, even though strike rate is displayed. 910

ODI batting and fielding versus New Zealand

The average is reproducible as 1,897 divided by 33 dismissals, giving 57.48. That calculation does not require an unreported balls-faced total. 910

ODI bowling versus New Zealand

The public opponent pages used for this record expose batting and fielding rows but not a complete Kohli bowling-by-New Zealand split. His overall ODI bowling row must not be substituted for an opponent-specific figure. 910

The comparison is instructive: Kohli's 57.48 average and 96.64 strike rate against New Zealand at every venue are close to his 58.79 and 94.37 ODI career displays, while his Eden Park sample is 19.67 and 63.44. The much smaller venue sample should be read as a venue snapshot, not as a replacement for the 36-match opponent record. 349

6. All-format records against New Zealand

The rows below keep Test, ODI and T20I records separate. They are all-venue opponent records, not Eden Park totals, and no cross-format average is calculated. Balls faced are left unavailable where the controlling opponent summary does not publish the aggregate. New Zealand bowling splits are also unavailable in all three rows; Kohli's overall career bowling figures are not used as a substitute. 11912

Batting against New Zealand

Bowling against New Zealand

These are unavailable opponent splits, not verified zero-wicket claims. The source pages do not expose a complete bowling-by-opponent ledger for Kohli. 11912

Fielding against New Zealand

The ODI row's 14 catches is the all-venue New Zealand opponent figure and is not the same scope as the zero catches published for Kohli at Eden Park. 11912

Venue vs ODI career vs New Zealand opponent

The following compact comparison keeps three different populations side by side: Main Eden Park all-opponent ODIs, Kohli's entire ODI career and all-venue ODIs against New Zealand. 349

The venue row is the outlier on both rate measures, but only three innings are available. The New Zealand row has a much larger 36-innings base and a higher strike rate than Kohli's career display, while the venue-v-New Zealand subset is only two innings: 21 runs from 45 balls at 10.50 and 46.67, derived by removing the Zimbabwe innings from the complete Eden set. 4579

Eden Park context: supported leaders and unresolved rankings

The shared Eden Park comparison establishes 11 India-involving men's ODI matches in the complete venue register, but that is a team match count, not a player-appearance count. In the opened descending high-score table, Virender Sehwag's 112 against New Zealand on 11 January 2003 is the supported highest individual India innings in the reported source scope. In the opened wickets table, Javagal Srinath's 12 wickets in four matches is the supported India wicket-leading row; his own best is 4/23, not an unsupported claim about every Indian bowler's career best. 14171819

The requested India-wide aggregate-run leader, best average with at least two innings, best strike rate with at least two innings and at least 50 balls, and most-appearance player remain unresolved in the opened evidence. The available tables either return only a limited top-20 view, impose a five-innings/200-run or five-wicket qualification, omit balls faced, or do not identify individual appearances. They therefore cannot be replaced with a ranking of the eleven selected subjects. 151620

Frequently asked questions

How many ODIs has Virat Kohli played at Eden Park?

He has three verified ODI appearances at Eden Park Main Stadium through 3 November 2026. They are dated 25 January 2014, 14 March 2015 and 8 February 2020. The list includes Zimbabwe because the question is about the ground, not only matches against New Zealand. 45678

Why are T20I matches not included in the Eden Park record?

This article's venue record is explicitly an ODI record. A T20I or an Outer Oval/List A appearance would answer a different statistical question and is not substituted into the Main Stadium ODI chronology. 45

How does Kohli's Eden Park record differ from his New Zealand record?

At Eden Park he has 59 runs at 19.67 from three innings. Against New Zealand at every venue he has 1,897 runs at 57.48 from 36 innings. The latter includes grounds and matches outside Auckland, so the figures should not be merged. 49

Was Kohli scheduled to play the 4 November 2026 ODI at Eden Park?

The fixture was scheduled, but it was unplayed at the 3 November source cutoff. It is excluded from the appearance count, totals and chronology; no result or confirmed XI is asserted here. 245

Why do some bowling fields say unavailable rather than zero?

The supplied venue and opponent tables do not publish complete Kohli bowling splits for those scopes. Unavailable means the source did not establish a complete figure. It is different from a verified zero-wicket row and from an undefined rate where wickets are explicitly zero in a complete career row. 1491112

Which internal guides provide venue context and the upcoming-match forecast?

For ground background, see the Eden Park pitch report and stadium guide. The separate New Zealand vs India first ODI prediction covers the scheduled fixture rather than adding it to this historical record. For a same-release player comparison, see Shubman Gill's Eden Park ODI statistics and Rohit Sharma's Eden Park ODI statistics.
