Virat Kohli is the number one ranked batsman in One-Day Internationals. He played brilliantly throughout the tournament. Virat was not able to score a century in ICC Cricket World Cup 2019. He scored five consecutive half-centuries in the league stage. He was also the second-highest run-scorer for India in the tournament after Rohit Sharma. He scored 442 runs in nine matches.

Virat Kohli is also known as "chase-master" as he is one of the best batsmen for chasing down a target.

The skipper was dismissed at just one run by Trent Boult in the crucial knockout game. India lost the wicket of Rohit Sharma early. Virat has expected to chase down the required target but he failed to perform.
