Virat Kohli Stats: Career Summary
In the legacy of great Indian batters, Virat Kohli wrote a new chapter in the 2010s. When we saw the fresh-faced all-rounder who captained India’s Under-19 team in the 2008 U-19 World Cup, no one could have predicted how far the boy from Delhi would go. While he did make his international debut against Sri Lanka in 2008, the youngster stamped his presence onto the global stage during the 2009 Emerging Players Tournament in Australia.
From this point, Kohli went from strength to strength. He secured a spot in the national team, won the 2011 ODI World Cup with India, and started garnering his first comparisons to the legendary Sachin Tendulkar. His greatest inning arguably came in the 2012 Asia Cup. Chasing 330 runs, Kohli scored 183 runs and almost single-handedly won his team the match.
From here, he became the face of the Indian batting order like Tendulkar and Gavaskar before him. As the vice-captain of the national team, he took India to the final of the 2014 T20 World Cup. Then, during the 2014-15 Border-Gavaskar Trophy, he became India’s Test captain after MS Dhoni retired from the format mid-series, embarking on the most dominant era of Indian Test cricket.
By this time, not only was the once chubby youngster trimmed down, but he also became one of the most athletic cricketers in the world, on par with athletes from other sports. He set a standard of fitness and preparation in the team like no one before. He also started breaking a lot of run-scoring records by this time, scoring centuries across formats for fun.
Virat Kohli was the Indian Cricket Team captain across all formats till 2021. While India was the best team in the world for all his time at the helm, the team failed to win any ICC trophies to show for it. Semi-final exits in the 2015 ODI and 2016 T20 World Cup. Finals defeat in the 2017 Champions Trophy, semi-final defeat in the 2019 ODI World Cup, and finals defeat in the 2021 World Test Championship.
But despite India losing all these tournaments, they were the kings of the bilaterals at this time. And as for Kohli, he was the best batter in the world. And while he did hit a slump in the early 2020s in terms of scoring a ton, he was still among the best in the world, now as a veteran batter.
In the semi-final of the 2023 ODI World Cup, Kohli scored his 50th ODI century, surpassing Sachin Tendulkar as the most successful batter in the format. And while the Indian Cricket Team went on to lose the final of that World Cup, Kohli continued his legacy of being an absolute beast at the World Cups, scoring the most runs in one edition of the tournament ever with 765.
Virat did end his 13-year wait of winning a World Cup and 11-year wait of winning an ICC trophy when India clinched the 2024 T20 World Cup. While he did not fire throughout the tournament, the now 35-year-old scored 76-off-59 and was named the Player of the Match for the final.
We cannot miss Virat Kohli’s IPL career. He is the most successful batter in the history of the league. Having been signed by the Royal Challengers Bengaluru for just $30000 before the first season in 2008, Kohli has been an RCB regular and a legend of the franchise ever since. In the 14 seasons of the IPL, Kohli has scored 8004 runs in 244 innings with an average of 38.66, over 1000 more than the second-placed Shikhar Dhawan. Having won the Orange Cap twice, Virat Kohli had the most successful IPL season in 2016 for a batter, scoring a record 973 runs in 16 games. He also has the most centuries in tournament history with eight.
From 2013-to-2021, Kohli also captained the Royal Challengers Bengaluru. And while it was among the most popular franchises in the league at the time and even reached the final in 2016, RCB has never won the league. But with Virat Kohli’s fortunes changing in international cricket, will he bring his title-winning ways to RCB?
