New Delhi: The Indian cricket team is once again gearing up for an ICC tournament final, set to take place on March 9 in Dubai against New Zealand. Virat Kohli has historically been India’s go-to player in crucial ICC matches, and he has maintained remarkable form in the ongoing Champions Trophy. In four innings of the Champions Trophy 2025, Kohli has already scored 217 runs. As the final approaches, all eyes will be on him to deliver yet another match-winning performance.

Virat Kohli’s Record in ICC Finals

Virat Kohli has played a total of nine ICC finals in his illustrious career, making him one of the most experienced players in high-stakes matches. His journey in ICC finals began with the 2011 ODI World Cup, where he contributed with a steady knock in India’s victorious campaign. He followed it up with another significant role in the 2013 Champions Trophy final, ensuring India’s triumph.

One of Kohli’s standout performances came in the 2014 T20 World Cup final, where he played a brilliant knock of 77 runs, though India ended up on the losing side. Despite a low score in the 2017 Champions Trophy final, he bounced back with fighting performances in subsequent finals.

Kohli was also a key player in India’s 2021 and 2023 World Test Championship (WTC) finals, playing crucial knocks, albeit in losing causes. In the 2023 ODI World Cup final against Australia, he scored 54 runs, displaying resilience but falling short of securing the title for India.

However, the defining moment of his ICC final legacy came in the 2024 T20 World Cup final, where he played a sensational 76-run innings against South Africa. His knock played a pivotal role in India’s victory, earning him the Player of the Match award.
