Page 4 - Virat Kohli's Stats Analysis

Series Dominator like no other

Kohli dominates series like few batsmen have ever done.

The most astonishing aspect of Kohli's career in my view is how consistently ruthless he is when it comes to scoring runs in a rubber which is in complete contrast to the batsmen he is so often compared with; Sachin Tendulkar, who never bettered his tally of 493 runs (vs Australia 2007/08) in a series. Quite surprising for a career as long as his.

Kohli meanwhile, is in a very elite list when it comes to batsmen who are prolific throughout a series by scoring more than 600 runs in it. Kohli has done this 3 times as of now (692 vs Australia 2014/15, 655 vs England 2016/17, 610 vs Sri Lanka 2017) and is at par with Neil Harvey (Aus), Gary Sobers (WI) and Brian Lara (WI) who did it three times each in their careers.

Batsmen with more than 600 runs in a series (No.of Instances)

To no one's surprise, it is Don Bradman who sits alone at the top with 6 instances of scoring 600 plus runs in a series, followed by the four who have done it thrice. But here's the thing, Kohli has already amassed 440 runs in the ongoing series vs England with two Tests to go. Chances are at that by the end of this series, Kohli will occupy a spot below only the great Don.
