Story
  • Virat Kohli named his 43 runs against England in the 2013 Champions Trophy final as his best ODI innings.
  • He chose it over bigger knocks, including a 183 against Pakistan in the 2012 Asia Cup and a 160 against South Africa…

Virat Kohli has picked a 43-run innings against England as his best one-day international knock. He made the choice in a "Winner Stays On" challenge on Star Sports.

Kohli had to pick from several of his finest ODI innings. The options included his 183 against Pakistan in the 2012 Asia Cup in Mirpur. They also included his 160 against South Africa in Cape Town in 2018.

He chose instead the 43 runs he scored in the 2013 ICC Champions Trophy final against England.

The innings was not one of his bigger scores. Kohli has a record of many centuries, and the bigger knocks are the ones fans usually cite. By choosing a smaller score, he pointed to the pressure of the occasion.

Kohli's career total now stands above 28,600 international runs.
