Virat Kohli Dictates the Chase, Even Without a Hundred

Virat Kohli once again proved why he is regarded as one of the finest chasers in modern cricket, delivering a masterclass in control and composure even without reaching a century. Anchoring the innings with precision, Kohli paced the chase to perfection, ensuring the team stayed on course despite mounting pressure.

Rather than chasing personal milestones, Kohli focused on strike rotation, smart shot selection, and building partnerships. His calm presence at the crease allowed other batters to play freely, turning a potentially tricky run chase into a controlled pursuit. With every boundary and quick single, Kohli dictated the tempo, keeping the required run rate firmly in check.

This innings highlighted Kohli’s maturity and game awareness — proving that impact matters more than numbers. Even without a hundred next to his name, his contribution was decisive, once again showcasing his ability to finish games and guide the team home with authority.
