Fans and analysts are already excited for September 30. Not only is it an opportunity to witness one of the great ODI batsmen of all time return to an arena where he once made history; you will learn much in this analysis as you discover:

Kohli’s complete ODI record at Barsapara Stadium, broken down number by number. A full account of his iconic 140 against West Indies in 2018; where the 2026 series stands and how his 139* in the opener fits in to it all.

Note: venue conditions and all you need for the second ODI for India against West Indies at Guwahati on September 30, 2026 will be updated here on this article.

Why Guwahati Matters Right Now

Let’s set the context before diving into numbers; context is of the utmost importance.
India arrives in Guwahati after making a dramatic statement win in Thiruvananthapuram by defeating West Indies by eight wickets – and Virat Kohli led their charge with an unbeaten 139 off just 88 balls, helping India chase down their 295/7 total and make up to 300/2 in 41.4 overs – an outstanding effort and win by any standard!
Kohli’s knock wasn’t just match-winning; it saw him reach an unprecedented 15,000 ODI runs — an achievement only few humans can boast of achieving. Shubman Gill contributed well too with 110 runs himself, but ultimately Kohli stole the show by hitting sixes to seal victory – giving the match its dramatic conclusion!
Now he is returning to a venue where he still has unfinished business – and an irresistibly tempting batting record to defend. India also have an important three-match series to close out; winning at Guwahati would wrap up this series and send them into New Chandigarh with their trophy already secured.

Virat Kohli ODI Stats at Barsapara Stadium

Before the second ODI of 2026 at Barsapara, Kohli had only ever played one innings at Barsapara; its magnitude became evident when we put these numbers side by side:

Kohli was dismissed once after scoring 140, so this average currently reads 140.00; after his return on September 30th, this figure will be adjusted.

Simple logic here, should make this an interesting tale: in one innings, Kohli recorded one century without one single low score to reduce its numbers. Such records are nearly impossible to beat, although given his recent form, Kohli might just try, while given that his only Barsapara knock came against the same opposition again makes for even greater intrigue and drama.

Match-by-Match: Kohli’s ODI Record in Guwahati

Looking at Kohli’s Barsapara appearances side-by-side is refreshing; two rows, complete and incomplete represent all that remains to play for.

Kohli made his only previous ODI appearance at this venue during India’s 2018 home series against West Indies, when India were set a target of 322. They easily made it look effortless by reaching 326/2 in 42.1 overs courtesy of an incredible 246-run second wicket stand between Kohli and Rohit Sharma – who both finished unbeaten on 152 respectively.
Two batting royalty came together for one afternoon to demoralize West Indies bowlers and win matches en masse, leaving their bowlers no chance at all of stopping it. Such partnerships don’t just win matches – they also demoralize entire dressing rooms; West Indies never recovered once these two got going.
After Kohli bats in 2026, this table will expand by one complete entry and his career record at this venue could change substantially; we’ll discuss that further later.

Virat Kohli’s 140 Against West Indies in 2018

Virat Kohli’s Guwahati innings was not just defined by sheer flair; rather, it was an extraordinary display of chasing under pressure. Batting at No. 3, Kohli arrived early and remained until late in his innings; controlling its pace while Rohit similarly played his part on the other end. Here’s what it looked like up close:

• Rohit Sharma scored 140 runs from 107 deliveries with a strike rate of over 130 during a successful chase.
• 21 fours and 2 sixes off just 24 deliveries – contributing significantly towards West Indies’ resistance breakdown.
• A 246-run stand was created between him and Rohit that effectively broke West Indies resistance.
• India successfully chased 323 with 47 balls remaining, an unprecedented effort under any format of play.

Kohli earned himself the rightful Player of the Match accolade on Sunday afternoon at Barsapara. What separated this hundred from others is its balance; Kohli displayed textbook stroke play mixed with genuine aggression to exploit Barsapara’s friendly conditions without ever losing shape or intent. 21 boundaries is no fluke rather it shows him reading conditions perfectly and making most out of every opportunity it presents itself when hitting zone balls come back up into his hitting zone.
There was something impressively tactical about his pace of play; not in a ballistic manner from the opening over or plodding aimlessly, he timed his acceleration perfectly so India remained ahead of their run rate without ever taking unnecessary risks; that kind of game management is what separates a good batter from an exceptional one in such high-stakes chases.
At this venue, it would not be an exaggeration to say that his 140 is the gold standard for any batter. His easy run chase became an effortless victory; and that kind of performance will long remain in the memories of both spectators in the stands and bowlers watching it happen ball by ball.

Virat Kohli in the India vs West Indies ODI Series 2026

Before discussing Guwahati’s future, let’s first assess where India vs West Indies ODI Series 2026 stands as it currently is. India holds an advantage of one match over its West Indian rivals with one won and two to come, led by Virat Kohli who set an excellent tone with his performance of 139* (88) from Thiruvananthapuram which helped India win by 8 wickets; subsequent games will take place in Guwahati (scheduled for September 30) and New Chandigarh before moving into Chandigarh before concluding this series!

Kohli’s opening 139 included 10 fours and nine sixes, proof that even at this late stage in his career, he still can hit aerial shots and clear boundaries effectively. Nine sixes in an ODI innings is not just good hitting; it demonstrates how well-adapted Kohli is to modern game’s attacking demands while never forgetting what made him great in the first place.
Talking points heading into Guwahati include:

• He’s coming off an unbeaten 139 and is clearly in full rhythm
• He crossed 15,000 ODI runs during that innings — an all-time elite milestone
• He hit the winning six to close out the first ODI in style
• He already owns a century at Barsapara Stadium against this very opponent
• A win in Guwahati seals the three-match series for India
• His current 2026 venue record depends entirely on whether he bats and what he scores on the night

Up close, Kohli seems determined to use this series as a platform for personal revelation; an opportunity to demonstrate to his critics and fans alike that his best cricket still lies ahead of him rather than behind. With an already scored century at this ground against West Indies’ attack ominous forebodings are hard to ignore.

Barsapara Stadium: Venue and Pitch Context

Understanding why Kohli has had such great success at Barsapara Stadium helps explain his impressive stats and both teams will pay special attention to how the surface performs on September 30.
Barsapara Cricket Stadium lies in Guwahati, Assam and has earned itself a strong reputation as an inviting environment in which to bat. The outfield tends to be fast while boundaries don’t exceed modern expectations and pitches generally provide enough pace and carry to allow attacking shots to flourish.

Kohli had scored 140 runs when India faced West Indies at this fixture last year; West Indies posted 322/8 while India still reached their target inside 43 overs – representing over 640 runs between two teams combined and telling you much about how the pitch and ground dimensions affected this matchup.
Day/night matches in India add another important twist dew factor. As the match moves toward evening hours, bowlers may find it harder to grip the ball and chasers can often gain advantage. Teams winning the toss may have their own preferred settings that could alter how the match progresses significantly.
At the same time, let’s be realistic: pitch behavior, weather and dew on any given night should always be judged according to official match-day reports. What we know for sure is that this venue has produced high-quality ODI cricket before giving reason for optimism that similar performances might take place again.

Kohli vs West Indies at Barsapara: A Specific Record Worth Noting

One element that doesn’t get enough notice is how Kohli’s Barsapara record is already exclusive to West Indies; when he steps out on September 30, not only will he extend his venue record he’ll specifically be adding to it against this team at this venue. Consequently, on that date when he bats, not only will his score add up; rather it will specifically add to this side’s record at Barsapara.

His 2018 innings remains an excellent historical precedent and remains the key historical reference. Not merely a dead-rubber knock or consolation effort, his 180 was directly responsible for winning India the game on this ground. West Indies bowlers will know what this man can do here on September 30; now is their opportunity to find answers they didn’t have then.

Kohli’s ODI Form Before the Guwahati Match

Stats are one thing; overall form is another. Both indicators appear to be trending upward.
After his performance in the 2026 series’ inaugural ODI, Kohli has amassed an ODI portfolio that makes his claim as the greatest batter hard to dispute:

No doubt about it; Venue A is clearly my top pick.

No other batter in history has achieved as many ODI centuries as West Indies’ Chris Gayle – no matter their venue. Throw into that mix an average score of 140 at his venue of choice (Bathurst), plus series where he already reached 130 from Game 1, and you begin to understand why West Indies bowlers won’t rest easy until September 30.
Note that before publishing these career figures, always consult an official database as they can change with every innings Kohli plays – this number reflects his total after playing one ODI in this series.

How the Record Could Change After September 30

Now comes the fun part – numbers will start shifting depending on what transpires in the second ODI between Pakistan and India, forcing Kohli’s Barsapara record to require updating and shifting in various ways.
The update rules are straightforward.

• Score 100+ and his century count at the venue climbs to two
• Score 50–99 and he adds a half-century to his Barsapara tally
• Dismissed below 50 and no fifty is added, but the average takes its first real hit
• Stay not out and his runs and innings count rises, but no dismissal is added — which could push that already remarkable average even higher
• If he doesn’t bat or the match is abandoned without a completed innings, the figures stay exactly as they are

Here is a preview of what your record could look like: here is the pre-match snapshot:

Consider this: with just one more not-out knock, his average might skyrocket past 140 and into untouchable territory – such is the beauty of small-but-perfect sample sizes: one big innings without dismissal leaves numbers hard to contextualize in conventional terms.

FAQs on Virat Kohli’s Barsapara ODI Stats

Bottom Line: Kohli returns to a venue where he already produced a match-winning century against West Indies and doing it carrying an unstoppable form that looks absolutely unstoppable right now. West Indies should be wary, since conditions suit him, history favors him and motivation couldn’t be higher as an entire series win could be in play.
