The greensthest ‘chase master’ of all time Virat Kohli: The Greatest ‘Chase Master’ of All Time! This is to say that Wasim Akram. The former Pakistani bowler has given this statement by looking at Virat Kohli’s innings in the semi -finals. These words of Wasim Akram are now associated with Kohli’s name. Kohli has once again shown why he is called the real ‘chase master’ of world cricket. In the semi -finals, Kohli played an important innings of 84 runs when India needed the most. Kohli stood on the pitch from one end. Virat scored an innings of 84 runs in which he hit only 5 fours. The most surprising thing is that out of his 84 runs, only 20 runs came in the boundary, all the remaining runs ran and took a single or by taking double, Kohli’s militant has made him the real king of world cricket.

Kohli’s bat went on a batting -helping pitch and instead of playing big shots, he carried forward his innings with restraint. Kohli, who failed in the last few years against the spinners in the innings, played well to Australia’s spinner Adam Jampa here. He installed brilliant pools and drives in his innings. Even though he became a victim of Jampa in the last, he has once again proved that ‘Form is Temporary, Class Is Permanent’.
