By Just when the noise regarding Virat Kohli’s form was beginning to grow loud, The India captain silenced his detractors with a timely half-century. Kohli notched up his 26th T20I fifty on Sunday during the second match against England, and did what he does best – successfully shepherding a chase for India that helped the home team to level the series after the crushing defeat on Friday.
Kohli remained unbeaten on 73 off 49 balls with five fours and three sixes. He hit the winning runs, a six off Chris Jordan, which also fetched Kohli a brilliant accolade as the India captain became the first batsman to register 3000 runs in T20I cricket. Kohli explained he was happy to get the job done for the team, and as far as his knock goes, Kohli revealed how he’d had a special conversation with Mr. 360, his Royal Challengers Bangalore pal, AB de Villiers, and whose advice he followed in the match.
