Virat Kohli stands tall as one of the most iconic batters of the modern cricketing era. His presence on and off the field is nothing short of a phenomenon, drawing fans from across the globe. While his effortless shots have left an indelible mark on his fans' minds, his brilliant running between the wickets has set him apart.
Kohli's dedication to fitness is mirrored in his amazing running, pushing both teammates and opponents to their limits. ESPNcricinfo recently unveiled a statistic that Kohli has traversed more than 500 kilometers on the cricket pitch solely through his running between the wicket. This distance contains approximately 277km for his own runs and an additional 233km while playing the supporting role for his fellow batters. A total of around 510km - an astonishing testament to his athleticism.
Among the most memorable displays of Kohli's running between the wicket prowess was during an ODI match against Zimbabwe in 2013. A quick four runs between the wickets showcased his extraordinary agility and brilliant fitness.
On August 18, 2023, Kohli celebrated a remarkable milestone, as he completed 15 years in international cricket after making his debut against Sri Lanka in 2008. His inaugural appearance saw him open the innings alongside Gautam Gambhir, etching his name as the youngest Indian to achieve this feat on debut.
Kohli's unwavering commitment to pushing boundaries - whether physical or cricketing - continues to fascinate one and all. His recent inning against Pakistan in the T20 World Cup marked a long-lasting impact in the heart of every cricket fan where he single-handedly won the match for India against the likes of Shaheen Afridi and Haris Rauf.
With the Asia Cup and World Cup looming ahead, Indian fans will be hoping that we could see the superfit and in-form Kohli, smashing the bowlers all around the park as usual.
