Virat kohli nervous 90 list: How many times has Kohli got out in nervous 90s?
Scoring a century is a mark of excellence in cricket, and it holds special significance for both the individual player and the team. Batsmen often try to remain composed and not let nerves get the better of them during this crucial phase to convert their 90s into a century.
“Nervous 90s” refers to the period when a batsman’s individual score is between 90 and 99 runs. It is called “nervous” because it’s a critical phase in a batsman’s innings as they are just 10 runs away from achieving a century (100 runs). Getting dismissed in the 90s is often considered an unfortunate event for a batsman, as they miss the opportunity to reach the prestigious milestone of a century, which is a significant achievement in the sport.
And when you are on the verge of breaking the great Sachin Tendular’s record for most ODI centuries, in addition to crores of cricket fanatics watching and supporting you, getting out in the 90s must be a terrible feeling. Well, only “King” Kohli can express that.
