Virat Kohli’s exceptional prowess in run chases has once again taken the cricketing world by storm in the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023. His remarkable ability to maintain composure amidst chaos and steer his team to victory is a testament to his unparalleled talent and resilience.

Renowned cricket commentator Simon Doull was quick to shower praise on the Indian veteran for his phenomenal record in run chases. Doull emphasized that what sets Virat Kohli apart is his remarkable control over his own mind and batting, even when the world around him seems to be in turmoil. Kohli’s ability to thrive under pressure is indeed a sight to behold.

The statistics only serve to underline Virat Kohli’s incredible prowess. He boasts an astonishing average of over 90 in run chases, a feat that places him head and shoulders above some of the cricketing legends who have graced the sport. When you consider that players of the caliber of Jacques Kallis and Sachin Tendulkar averaged around 50 to 55 in run chases, it becomes evident just how extraordinary Kohli’s achievements are. His average of nearly 40 runs more than these greats in run chases is nothing short of exceptional.

Simon Doull says, “The ability to control his own mind and his own batting while chaos can be happening around him, I think that’s one of the huge admirations for Virat. Averages in excess of 90 in run chases. When you look at some of the great players who average 50,54,55, the likes of Kallis and Tendulkar and those sorts of players. To be 40 almost above them in run chases is just phenomenal.”
