2) Astonishing average in chasing
Well, we all know Virat Kohli’s penchant for chasing targets. He is someone who thrives under pressure and relishes challenges. His game goes one notch higher whenever he is batting under pressure.
His mind-blowing stats in chases this year, especially in winning chases are a testament to the fact that the young man has the ability to stand up when it matters the most. The adage, “when the going gets tough, the tough gets going” fits perfectly.
This year, Kohli averages 138.25 in chases and in winning chases the figure reads 258. Yes, you read it right! His knock against Australia in the ICC T20 World Cup 2016 remains vivid in the memories of all as he almost singlehandedly chased the target set by Australia and propelled India to the semi-final.
In the ongoing IPL 2016 too, Virat has been magnificent while chasing. He scored a magnificent hundred in the game against Rising Pune Supergiants to guide his Royal Challengers Bangalore to victory.
