India, March 4 -- Of Virat Kohli's 51 ODI hundreds, 28 have come in a run-chase. In 21 of them, Kohli has taken India past the finish line. On Tuesday, he couldn't finish off the chase, statistically speaking. His 84 (98b, 5x4) though was as good as a hundred as modern cricket's ultimate chase master anchored yet another time to take India into the Champions Trophy final.

India restricted Australia to 264 after they elected to bat and chased it down in 48.1 overs at the Dubai International Stadium. They await the winners of the second semi-final between New Zealand and South Africa in Lahore on Wednesday with the final to be played in Dubai on Sunday.

Chasing 265 on a slow wicket can prove trickier than making short work of 365 on a bat...
