Virat Kohli, one of the most iconic cricketers of all time, has consistently delivered strong performances in the Champions Trophy tournament. In 2013, he scored 176 runs at an average of 58.66.

The 2017 edition of Champions Trophy saw him captain India in an ICC event for the first time, leading the team to the final, where they suffered a heavy 180-run defeat against Pakistan. Despite the loss, Kohli's leadership and batting stood out, as he finished the tournament with 258 runs at a stunning average of 129.

In total, Virat Kohli has played 13 Champions Trophy matches, scoring 529 runs in 12 innings at an exceptional average of 88.16.
