Here are the stats, Kohli scored 5388 runs in successful run chases for India only behind Sachin Tendulkar who has scored 5490 runs.
During an Instagram live session with Tamim Iqbal Bangladesh opener, Kohli addressed his mental setup and handling pressure during high run chases.
In the chat,
“Honestly, as a kid, when I used to watch India lose, I would go to sleep thinking I could have won that match,” Kohli said.
His dream of chasing and winning matches for India started back when he was a kid.
“If I am chasing 380, I never feel that you can’t achieve it… In 2012 in Hobart, we had to chase 320-odd in 40 overs (against Sri Lanka) to qualify. At the break, I told (Suresh) Raina that we will approach this match as two 20 over games. Forty overs is a big duration. So I told him let’s first play 20 and see how many runs are scored and then play another T20 game.”
India chased 321 in 36.4 overs and Kohli scored 133 runs in 86 balls striking at 154.65 including 16 fours and 2 sixes. That was the memorable innings of Virat Kohli and hitting inform Malinga all over the ground. India won by seven wickets.
To be honest, I never doubt myself in game situations. Everyone who is human has doubts and weaknesses. Have their negatives. So in practice during tours, if you haven’t had a good session, you feel you don’t have that flow.
“Yes, doubts creep in then and it’s at the back of your mind. Key is to keep going and get into that zone till you feel that it was just a distraction. If I believe I am good enough, then I am good enough.
“The best part about match situation is that you don’t need to think so much. You react to situations knowing your role..”
Virat Kohli Mindset is to keep going and going until you feel it was just a distraction.
Chase Like Virat Kohli:
Kohli said he sees every chase as an opportunity not as pressure. That's the motto of him in every chase as stats suggest that how he committed to it.
When coming to chasing games, the heroes of India are Sachin Tendulkar and Virat Kohli. Sachin Tendulkar phase can be divided into two parts. From 1989-96, the time when India team struggled when they lose early wickets. Sachin Tendulkar averaged 43.82 while chasing in that period.
The Indian team completely changed after the arrival of Sourav Ganguly and Rahul Dravid. From 1996-2012(Sachin Retirement). Sourav Ganguly and Sachin Tendulkar become the best Opening Pair in ODI's followed by Rahul Dravid after opening wicket. Sachin, Ganguly, and Azharuddin average nearly 59 while chasing.
Sachin scored 14 hundred while chasing in that period.
Stat: Sourav Ganguly and Sachin Tendulkar hold the most century partnerships(17) while chasing. This is the best until now.
Since the debut of Virat Kohli in 2008. Virat Kohli is well supported by M.S.Dhoni, Rohit Sharma, Shikhar Dhawan, and Gautam Gambhir. Virat, Dhoni, Gambhir, and Rohit average more than 60.0 while chasing. Virat Kohli's stats while chasing is very impressive. No other player can go very close to him.
