5 Reasons why Virat Kohli makes chasing ridiculously easy

#2 Always Keeping Up With The Required Run Rate

Virat Kohli against Sri Lanka at Hobart in 2012

Very rarely does Virat play too many dot balls consecutively. That is the case irrespective of whether he is new to the crease after the early demise of an opener or he is batting in the middle overs. If not hitting boundaries, he is always rotating the strike.

As mentioned above, his fitness and ability to rotate the strike on a consistent basis means that he rarely misses out on any run-scoring opportunity. The margin for error for his opponents is very small.

His one eye is always on scoreboard and the required run rate seldom goes beyond reach when he is batting. At times, if it is increasing at an alarming rate, he will pick his gaps and try to put pressure back on the bowling team and try to force them to change their plans.

He does all this by staying within his game plan and without taking any risk.
