Virat Kohli is one of the most successful batters in ODI cricket history. The right-handed batter owns the world record for the most centuries in ODI cricket, having registered 50 tons in this format. Apart from that, he has dominated against almost every team that he has played against in this format.
It is difficult for any batter to average more than 50 in ODI cricket at home or away from home. While quite a few batters still have an average of more than 50 at home because they grew up playing cricket in those conditions, Kohli is quite different.
He has an ODI average of more than 50 in many countries, and in the following three countries, he averages more than 50, while having scored more than 1,000 runs as well.
(Please Note: Countries where Kohli has scored 1,000 runs have only been considered for this list)
1. Virat Kohli has an average of 73.13 in Bangladesh
Among all batters who have scored at least 1,000 ODI runs for India in a particular country outside India, Kohli has the best batting average. In the neighboring country of Bangladesh, Kohli has an incredible batting average of 73.13. He famously scored a century on ODI World Cup debut against Bangladesh in Bangladesh in 2011, while in his last ODI knock in that nation, he recorded a triple-figure score as well.
2. Average of 51.88 in England
England has been one of the most difficult touring places for subcontinental batters. The reason behind that is the ball swings a lot in English conditions, and the batters even struggle to tackle the medium pace bowlers.
Even Kohli struggled in English conditions at first, but he got better as he gained experience. Currently, Kohli has 1,349 runs in 33 innings to his name in English conditions, with his average being 51.88.
3. Average of 51.04 in Australia
Another nation which has generally been a difficult place to bat for the subcontinental batters is Australia. The pitches Down Under have extra bounce, which helps the pacers. Still, Kohli enjoyed playing in those conditions, and he has 1,327 runs at an average of 51.04 in Australian conditions in ODIs.
