Even though he didn’t lead his team to victory, the legendary Indian player once again masterfully managed a run chase to help his team defeat Australia in Dubai and advance to the Champions Trophy final.
Smith remarked, “He’s arguably the best chaser the game has seen,” after the fact.
No ‘arguably’ is required. Kohli is a phenomena in pursuits, according to the statistics.
With an average of 64.50 in one-day international run chases, Kohli, who struck 84 in India’s chase of 265 runs, is nearly eight runs ahead of South Africa’s AB de Villiers, who is ranked second.
Additionally, he has scored 28 of his 51 ODI hundreds in chases, which is 11 more than Sachin Tendulkar, a former teammate of India.
