5 Knocks Which Made Virat Kohli “The King of Run Chases”

5) Virat’s maiden ton at Kolkata:

Virat Kohli’s first international ton came two years after making an ODI debut in 2008. Unsurprisingly, that wonderful ton came whilst chasing down a mammoth 316 run target against Sri Lanka at the Eden Gardens.

After Sachin Tendulkar and Virender Sehwag’s early departure, Gautam Gambhir and Virat Kohli not only steadied the ship, but also took the game completely away from the Lankans. The duo shared a massive 224 run stand for the fourth wicket and the rate at which the youngster kept going signaled what was to come in the future.

Virat finished with 107 off 114 balls and his knock played a vital role in taking India ashore.
