India and Australia are going head to head in a 4-match Test series, and Virat Kohli, who was a major player heading into the games, hasn't really fired on all cylinders. If Australia's recent performance is anything to go by, India will easily go on to win at least one of the two remaining Tests, which will guarantee their place in the WTC final in England.
With the final set to be held in England, it is fair to see the record of India's most important batter there. Virat Kohli had a horror tour in 2014 but came back to haunt England in 2018, smashing more than 500 runs in the series.

Before The WTC Final
Before the WTC Final, India have plenty of assignments, the immediate of which is a 3-match ODI series against Australia. Virat Kohli has been great while batting first in ODI for a couple of years, but it is his record while chasing that is raising a few eyebrows.
- Innings: 8
- Runs: 177
- Average: 22.12
- Strike Rate: 79.72
- 50s: 2
- 100s: 0
This is where the team management might worry. The chase master hasn't been himself while chasing, and this can turn out to be a major headache for India going forward. Although the data only consists of 8 innings, it isn't that small a number to ignore. . With an average of just 22 and no 100s against his name, Kohli will want to come back at his aggressive best while chasing sooner rather than later.
