Virat Kohli has scored 529 runs in 13 matches in the Champions Trophy at a staggering average of 88.16 and a strike rate of 92.32. He is likely to surpass many greats like Ricky Ponting, Jacques Kallis, Sanath Jayasuriya, and many more in the upcoming edition.
Shikhar Dhawan is currently third in terms of the highest run-scorers in the Champions Trophy. The list is topped by West Indies great Chris Gayle who has scored 791 runs in 17 matches at an average of 52.73 with 3 hundreds and 1 fifty.
