One of the fittest cricketers the game has seen, Virat Kohli is a livewire on the field. Even when it comes to running between the wickets, Kohli converts ones into twos with relative ease. The superstar batter has also shared the pitch with some of the fittest cricketers of all time, one of which is MS Dhoni. When it comes to running between the wickets, there's arguably a better runner than the Ranchi-born wicket-keeper batter. However, Dhoni isn't the 'fastest-runner' Virat Kohli has run with so far in his cricketing career.

India's Predicted XI vs Australia, 3rd ODI: Will Umran Malik Be X-Factor On Chennai's Refurbished Pitch?

After facing a 10-wicket defeat in the second ODI, Team India is all set to face Australia in the third and final ODI of the three-match series in Chennai on Wednesday. The series is locked at 1-1 and the starry quartet of Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, Shubman Gill and Suryakumar Yadav will have to bat out of their skins to stop the left-arm pacer Mitchell Starc, who is gearing up once again to bring the ball back viciously into the right-handers while taking a few away. The refurbished Chepauk, with all its stands being open for public viewing, will be hosting an international game after quite some time and the re-laid pitch will attract a lot of attention. It will be interesting to see whether team management will be using young Umran Malik as their third pacer or not.
