Virat Kohli, with that willow in his arms, has been nothing less than an absolute conqueror! The Indian captain has amassed runs and records for fun and his numbers since 2016 have been simply unreal. His ability to master a run chase remains entire unparalleled as he continues to reign in as the King of this modern-day cricketing fraternity.

The first ODI against Sri Lanka was another instance of his calm and composed mindset during a run chase, and how without taking too many risks, he accumulated runs with sheer ease. His knock of 82 not out at Dambulla came in a successful chase, and it included him in a list of all-time greats.

Kohli became just the third batsman in ODI’s to have aggregated 4000 runs in successful chases. Only the all-time greats in the form of Ricky Ponting and Sachin Tendulkar are superior to Kohli in this aspect, but knowing the Indian captain, it wouldn’t be surprising if he ends up overtaking the legendary duo of the era gone by.

Another chilling stat has been that Kohli averages an eye-popping 726 in a particular aspect. The aspect is nothing, but his average in successful run chases over the course of last year. Yes, as unreal and mind boggling as it may seem, but it’s quite true as well. Virat Kohli averaging 726 in successful run chases in a decent time span, is enough to portray how superior the Indian captain has been in this form of the game.

Below, is the list of Kohli’s scores, in successful chases over the last 12 months.
