The ultimate ODI chase master: Virat Kohli continues to burgeon his reputation as the greatest chaser in ODIs
After yet another dominant innings against the Kiwis at Auckland, Virat Kohli continues to cement his legacy as ODI cricket's greatest chase master.
In an incredible performance, Virat Kohli has surpassed Sachin Tendulkar's record for the most ODI runs scored during chases, according to Cricket News. Kohli's 74-run innings against New Zealand at Eden Park helped India win the match by 56 balls, and it propelled him to a total of 8,741 runs in chases at an impressive average of 66.21.
This marks his first ODI fifty at Eden Park, where he had previously averaged under 20. Kohli's exceptional performance in chases is unmatched, as he has scored 6,477 runs from 108 innings at an outstanding average of 89.95 in successful chases, with 30 centuries and 30 fifties. This feat is 10 more than the nearest competitor, showcasing his dominance in this area of the game.
