(Source: AP) At 159 balls, the Newlands knock was Virat Kohli’s longest innings in One-Day Internationals. Keeping the good ones outThere is no obvious or set pattern to a Kohli innings, like say one from Rohit Sharma or Aaron Finch. 2.75 kilometers or 3010 yards is the distance Virat Kohli ran during the course of his 160-run innings on Wednesday. Given that the length of a cricket pitch is 22 yards, Kohli ran 2200 yards (75 x 1, 11 x 2, 1 x 3) for his runs. As compared to footballers, who routinely clock upwards of 6 kilometers in a match, it may not sound much, but most of Kohli’s runs were short, explosive sprints.
