India will lock horns with the Netherlands at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru on Sunday in the ongoing ICC Cricket World Cup.
Under Rohit Sharma's leadership, the Indian cricket team has displayed remarkable form, appearing invincible. This sets the stage for potential historic achievements.
The match against the Netherlands offers Virat Kohli a significant opportunity to surpass Sachin Tendulkar's record for the most ODI hundreds. And Kohli's outstanding form makes this pursuit highly plausible.

The Netherlands cricket team's performance in the World Cup 2023 has been disappointing, especially considering their successful run in the qualifiers where they defeated strong teams like West Indies to secure a spot in the tournament.
Despite playing on pitches favouring batsmen across various venues in India, the Dutch batting lineup has failed to deliver impressive performances. Many venues have witnessed phenomenal batting displays, but the Netherlands struggled to capitalize on these conditions.
Key batters, including Max O'Dowd and Colin Ackerman, have been unable to make the most of the favourable conditions. O'Dowd, showing promise with occasional attacking innings in the powerplay, has struggled to convert good starts into substantial scores. And against India's fiery pace battery, they face a formidable challenge to put up a good score if they bat first.
We look at the ODI records at the venue ahead of the clash.
