2013 Champions trophy
This was his second Champions trophy and after being at the top of his game in odis the expectations were very high from him. However the top two batsman were in such good touch it was not to often he got to bat early in the innings .

2016 T20 Wc
Just like 2014 this was another wc where Kohli had to carry the team . His highest score was 89* and the second highest scorer overall from India was at 89 runs (Dhoni). They were so reliant on Kohli that he was forced to bowl in the semi finals .Can you imagine

In the 9 ICC tournaments . He was the best batsman for india in 4 of them (3 t20 wc and 09 CT ).He was our second best batsman at 2019 wc . He was arguably 2nd best in 13 CT and 17 as well . He was our best/second batsman in 7/9 ICC tournaments still ppl think he is “dissapears”
