Bangladesh v India - ICC Champions Trophy Semi Final — Virat Kohli

Virat Kohli has been India’s run-scoring machine in ODIs. The Indian captain has spearheaded the batting efforts for the 'Men in Blue' and anchored many daunting chases. Kohli’s staggering consistency to churn out high scores sets him apart from the rest of the field. The Indian skipper has perhaps the best century per innings ratio and makes his innings count once he gets his eye in. The hallmark of Kohli’s batting is the way he paces his innings to perfection in his pursuits to win games for India.

Pace or spin, Kohli has dominated quality bowling attacks with his conventional yet enthralling strokeplay. With an untiring zeal to succeed and burning ambition to win India matches, Virat Kohli continues to shatter batting records one after the other and is destined to reach loftier heights in what is already a stellar career.
