Virat Kohli has made an indelible contribution to Indian cricket team ever since making his international debut in 2008. Since then, the right-handed batter grabbed his opportunity in both hands by churning out consistent runs for the national cricket team.

Moreover, he also went on to become an all-format player for India and then became one of the best in the business. More importantly, he earned the nickname ‘chase master’ because of his ability to help the team chase down targets.

What really made him a cut above other batters of international cricket was his sheer potential to maintain consistency across all three formats of the game. The modern-day batting great was recently seen in action during the two-match Test series against Bangladesh.

Earlier, he ended his century drought after 40 months by smashing his 44th century in One Day Internationals. It was also his 72nd century in international cricket. He failed to live up to his reputation during the two-match Test series against the Tigers.

The former Indian captain continued his struggles against Bangladesh’s bowling attack as he chipped in with a series of low scores in the series and is yet to score a fifty or century in Bangladesh.

Notably, he has completed 16,000 runs in winning games across three formats in international cricket. He will be next seen in cricketing action during Sri Lanka’s tour of India which comprises three T20Is followed by three ODIs.

The right-handed batsman has scored 8119 runs in the longest format of the game at an average of 48.9 including 27 centuries and 28 fifties. On the other hand, he has scored 12,471 runs in 265 ODIs at an average of 57.5 including 44 centuries and 64 fifties.

As far as his statistics in the Twenty20 International format is concerned, he has scored 4008 runs at an average of 52.7 including 1 century and 37 fifties.
