问题
I have added the plugin Postman to Chrome browser for load testing of my API.
But I am clueless about how to do the load test with Postman tool.
My query is how to simulate "Virtual Users" in this tool?

I don't think you'll be able to conduct load testing using Chrome Extension, consider more specialised tools for it, i.e. SoapUI or Apache JMeter
References:
- Using SoapUI for load testing
- Testing SOAP/REST Web Services Using JMeter
SoapUI is designed for testing web services and load testing is secondary option and JMeter is designed for load testing and doesn't have any web-services specific functionality however if I had to choose I would go for JMeter as it can produce more immense load and has better reporting capabilities.

Postman has a Collection Runner which can be used for making API calls with multiple iterations.
You might be able to use it for load testing if you can figure out how to get it to run requests in parallel.

At LoadImpact, we have built a CLI converter to transform a Postman collection into a Load Impact script.
https://github.com/loadimpact/postman-to-loadimpact
npm install -g postman-to-loadimpact
postman-to-loadimpact examples/v1/postman/echo.json
You may need to tweak the Load Impact script in some cases:
- to provide variable values
- to replicate the behaviour defined in your Postman pre-request or functional test.
Check out the following article Load testing with Postman
I hope, it can help.

You can open multiple Collection Runner windows in Postman to run parallel collections.
Click on the Run again and again. You will get new collection window opened. Kick off each collection one by one and they all will start running.

Hi I would suggest That you use Jmeter for load testing it is designed for it. But some people find it easier to use postman as collections are already created in it and it is much more interface friendly.
Step 1- Click on the little arrow along with your collection in the collection listing
Step 2- Then click on the Run button to launch Collection runner
Collection runner is the part which is used for sort of Load testing
Step 3- Collection runner has a lot of important parts to consider for load testing
The screenshot has counts that explains each part
Is the iterations or the number of users
Is the ramp up time or how often the users will hit or come
Is for logging requests
Date selection for what day this test was done
For running the test
All Api collection
All Api listing
Environment selection
After running the required results will show and I have redacted information for privacy
