It might be surprising for many that Virender Sehwag holds this record. The swashbuckling opener has scored 6 ODI hundreds against New Zealand in 23 innings. Even, his maiden ODI hundred had come against New Zealand in the year 2001.

Following him, Sachin Tendulkar and Virat Kohli have scored 5 centuries each in 41 and 19 innings respectively. Now, Virat Kohli who is owning records with every game he plays would look to break this record as well.

Since the start of the year 2016, Virat Kohli has scored 3554 runs at a mind-boggling average of 91.12 with 16 centuries and 14 half-centuries. Indian captain's hankering for getting hundreds is peerless and there is no reason why Virat Kohli can not score two centuries in the upcoming ODI series against the host, New Zealand.

Last time, when Virat played ODI series in New Zealand in the year 2014, he had scored 291 runs at 58.20 with 1 century and 2 half-centuries in five matches. He would look to improve the great numbers furthermore.
