Kohli's dominance at Chepauk Stadium

Virat Kohli boasts an impressive record at the Chepauk Stadium, standing as the second-highest run-scorer in ODIs at this iconic venue. Among the current Indian squad, he holds the distinction of being the sole player to have notched up an ODI century here. Across eight matches, Kohli has amassed a total of 337 runs, maintaining an impressive average of 42.12, which includes one century and three half-centuries.

Now, if you're wondering who stands atop the list as the highest run-scorer at Chepauk, think "yellow," but not in an Australian context. To provide some context, Kohli's former India captain has an astounding record, amassing 401 runs in six matches, featuring two centuries and a half-century, with an astonishing average of 100.25.

Still puzzled? Think of the Tamil word for "leader." If that doesn't ring a bell, I hope you're comfortable under that rock!
