Virat Kohli Stats and Records against England in ODI Cricket – IND vs ENG

Virat Kohli is a batsman with flawless techniques and arrives on the crease after one wicket is down. Kohli is quick to understand the ball with his fast footwork. Also known as King Kohli or The Run Machine, Virat relies more on bouncing the ball on the ground early rather than flying it in the air. Once he is settled on the crease, he is furious with rapid huge shots that often land beyond the boundary rope and in the audience gallery. There are fewer batsmen who can handle the pressure of white chasing and Virat is one of the exceptions regardless of the opponent team. While playing against England, Virat Kohli’s performance has been a mix of aggression and defense which makes him an outstanding batter who can judge dynamic situations. Here, we will talk about Virat Kohli’s ODI records versus England.

It took Virat Kohli the second inning against England to score a half-century giving India a respectable score of 274 to fight for it. When the openers could not do well, Virat spent time on the crease which was evident with his century scoring more runs than the balls faced. However, India could not win that match. Until Virat is on the crease while chasing, the hopes for winning the match stay alive. Time turned around as Virat’s century became more important as India won the match with his contribution of 112* (98) and two catches. 

It was multiple times that Kohli smashed back-to-back half-centuries that mostly failed the bowling strategy of seasoned and effective England bowlers Adil Rashid, Mark Wood, Ben Stokes, and Moeen Ali. All these innings indicate Virat has been stable against England’s bowling line-up while switching his roles as a defensive player, hitter, and captain.
