5 Reasons why India loves Virat Kohli
4) Overseas Performance
The biggest positive on Virat Kohli’s side is his overseas performance. Be it Australia or South Africa he never loses in any opportunity to score runs. Yes, he had a horrible tour against England in England in 2014. But that is a topic of the past as he has improved quite nicely post that tour.
He scored a century against South Africa in their backyard against the bowling attack comprising of Dale Steyn, Morne Morkel and Vernon Philander in 2012.
Kohli is one of the few Indian Batsmen who has a batting average in the higher fourties range in overseas conditions.
He scored 2 centuries and 2 fifties in 5 ODI series against Australia in Australia and was the second highest scorer in that series behind Rohit Sharma. He was the Man of the Series in the T-20 series scoring fifty in every of the three matches.
He also neared India to a win in Adelaide in Tests in 2014-15. His game doesn’t change a bit even though the playing conditions change.
