#2. Virat Kohli 136 vs Bangladesh, 2014
Virat Kohli’s 136 against Bangladesh at Fatullah in the 2014 Asia Cup chasing a healthy target of 280 was a typical example of his masterclass in batting when it comes to chasing stiff targets.
Virat Kohli, who walked in to bat with India in a spot of bother having lost both their openers, judged the situation perfectly and kept the scoreboard ticking, running hard between the wickets and pouncing on every scoring opportunity that came his way.
Kohli stitched a crucial 213 run partnership with Ajinkya Rahane, who scored 73 from 83 balls and ensured throughout the partnership that Kohli enjoyed as much of the strike as possible.
The right-hander brought up his 19th ODI century and his 13th in a run chase, steering India excellently towards the target before being dismissed for 136 from 122 balls with only 13 runs required for the win. The victory was only a matter of time since then as India won the match comfortably in the end, beating the hosts by 6 wickets.
