He will surpass Gayle as soon as he scores 46 runs in the title match against New Zealand.

Virat Kohli will also be eyeing to break Sachin Tendulkar's big record in the final of the Champions Trophy.

Currently, Sachin Tendulkar is at the top of the list of India's most successful batsmen in the knockout matches of the ICC ODI event. The Master Blaster has 657 runs to his name, while Virat Kohli is in second place with 530 runs.

Will Team India become the champion?
