Chasing in the modern day game is nothing short of an art. In order to achieve a target, the dynamics of batting change completely. Unlike batting in the first innings, chasing requires the batsman to play with a certain mindset and plan along with adapting to the situations and conditions. To add to that, playing under the pressure of required run rate, is what makes chasing an art only for the best in the business.
Over the due course of the last few years, successful chases have seen new highs altogether with India’s batting heartthrob Virat Kohli smashing all records for fun. The Indian captain set another example in the first ODI against England, as he became the leading century maker in successful chases.
