Highest Run-Scorer in the 2023 World Cup
India came very close to winning the 2023 ODI World Cup on home soil. The team won 10 consecutive matches to reach the final but suffered a heartbreaking defeat to Australia. Kohli had an outstanding tournament, scoring 765 runs in 11 matches and winning the Player of the Tournament award. He smashed three centuries and six half-centuries during the event.
Despite his brilliant individual performance, missing out on the trophy was a huge disappointment for Kohli, and he refrained from speaking after the final. Since then, fans have speculated whether Rohit Sharma and Kohli will play in the next World Cup. However, after winning back-to-back ICC trophies, their path to the 2027 World Cup seems clearer. Kohli displayed great form in the Champions Trophy, playing crucial innings against Pakistan and Australia, strengthening his case for another World Cup campaign.
