Another run chase, another Virat Kohli century.
Kohli, along with Kedar Jadhav, scripted one of the most sensational of wins for India. Chasing down big targets is not really new for this Indian side — this is the third instance of a 350-plus target achieved by India, all of them in the Kohli era. But to get there from 63 for 4 was what made the win one of India’s best ODI results in memory.
Jadhav, for his rapid 120, was rightly given man-of-the-match, but there was one moment during the run-chase when Kohli left the world wondering if he is even from this planet. This was not an unconventional shot that AB de Villiers has made an habit of playing. This was not MS Dhoni’s helicopter. This was not a Chris Gayle monster hit. This was… well, we are not really what this shot by Kohli was.
Go ahead, see it for yourself.
The shot left the commentators in complete awe. This is a shot you simply cannot teach someone.
Twitter could not stop gushing about that shot either.
How did that happen, indeed!
