Virat Kohli is known as the run machine of Indian cricket. For the last 16 years, he has been ruling world cricket with his incredible performances. No matter the format, Virat has shown his class time and again. After Sachin Tendulkar, Virat has earned the reputation of being the king of records. When it comes to chasing down targets, he is simply unstoppable. Today, on November 5, Virat celebrates his 36th birthday, and fans are showering him with wishes, hoping for even more success in his career.
No matter where he plays or who the bowler is, Virat Kohli is always up for the challenge. As soon as he steps onto the crease, the opposition bowlers know they’re in trouble. He keeps scoring runs without taking a break, even when the pressure is at its peak. While most players feel the heat, Virat thrives under pressure. In fact, when provoked by the opposition, he often plays his best cricket. This is why former players advise their teams not to anger Kohli, as he becomes even more dangerous.
In One Day Internationals (ODIs), Virat has surpassed Sachin Tendulkar’s record for most centuries. While Sachin made 49 centuries in 463 matches, Virat achieved 50 centuries in just 295 games. His consistency is evident, with a higher average than Sachin in ODIs. Kohli’s average stands at 58, while Sachin’s was 44.Virat is known for excelling in run chases. He performs better when chasing a target than when batting first. His runs, centuries, and average are all higher in such situations. In successful chases, Kohli’s average goes beyond 90. He has scored 27 centuries while chasing and 23 when batting first. Remarkably, he has scored 24 centuries at home and 26 abroad. While Sachin has a total of 100 international centuries, Virat currently stands over 80. He did face a dry spell without centuries for a couple of years, but if he continues for the next few years, fans believe he might come close to or even break Sachin’s record.
Virat has been honored with many awards, such as the Arjuna Award in 2013, the Padma Shri in 2017, and the Rajiv Gandhi Khel Ratna in 2018. He has also won international awards like the Sir Garfield Sobers Trophy for being the ICC Cricketer of the Year.As Virat Kohli
