India National Cricket Team star player Virat Kohli was at his absolute best on the field in the third and final T20I of the home series against the Ibrahim Zadran-led Afghanistan National Cricket Team at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru on Wednesday, January 17.
Virat Kohli tried to smash a delivery off Fareed Ahmad straight but was caught by Ibrahim Zadran. As Kohli got dismissed the entire crowd in Bengaluru went into dead silence.
Although Virat Kohli wasn’t able to make any impact with the bat, he made sure he made his best efforts on the field. Virat Kohli looked highly energetic and did a brilliant job in the second innings. However, his best came when he saved a certain six from going over the boundary.
On the 5th ball of the 17th over, the India National Cricket Team all-rounder Washington Sundar bowled a tad short delivery to Karim Janat, who smashed it off the back foot. The ball looked set to go past the long-on, but Virat Kohli channeled his inner Superman, timed the jump to perfection, and flapped the ball hack inside the field. Afghanistan batters got only one rune when they were destined to get 6, thanks to Kohli’s outrageous efforts.
