Kohli had an outstanding year at the batting crease, particularly during India’s home World Cup, when he was crucial to the team’s successful progression to the championship match.
In 27 games, he accumulated 1377 runs and displayed his flexibility by capturing 27 catches and taking one wicket. He also played in 27 games.
Virat Kohli maintained his 2022 comeback with a fantastic 2023. At the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup, he was crowned Player of the Tournament and was the greatest in one-day internationals.
With 765 runs, he broke the record set by Sachin Tendulkar in 2003 and became the highest-scoring player in the history of men’s cricket. In nine of the eleven innings he played, he scored fifty runs or more.
Out of his three hundred appearances during the season, Virat Kohli’s most well-known came against New Zealand in the semifinals. His strike rate was 90.31, and his average was 95.62. He became the most prolific century-scorer in the history of the format with this century, which was also his 50th in ODIs.
The fact that Kohli was not there in the Ahmedabad final indicated how crucial he was to the team’s prospects of winning the title. Even though he scored his second half-century in the game, India did not win.
With an amazing average of 72.47, Kohli concluded the year with 1377 runs in 24 innings, including six hundreds and eight half-centuries.
