15 years ago on this day, India’s star batter Virat Kohli made his international debut. Virat Kohli made his international debut in an ODI game against Sri Lanka in 2008 in Dambulla. Virat started as an opener along with Gautam Gambhir and scored just 12 runs in 22 balls in his maiden innings.

Virat ran 510 Kilometers

In most of his international runs, Virat Kohli has scored 53.74% of his runs with singles, doubles, or triples.

Former Indian captain Virat has run around 276.57 kilometers in his career.

Virat is known for his hard work, and his numbers suggest that he loves to steal singles and then convert those into doubles or more. His agility and speed in running always encourage his partner, be it on strike or on the non-striker end, to put in extra effort.

When we add Virat’s distance covered as a non-striker, the number gets even bigger and better. At the non-striker’s end, Virat Kohli has contributed to 11,606 runs, and if we convert these numbers into distance, it comes to around 233.48 kilometers. When we add these two in combination, the total distance comes to around 510 kilometers in the 15 years of his career.
