Virat Kohli is now the leading run-scorer (1065) in the history of T20 World Cup competitions.
Virat Kohli’s yet another half-century, his third of the campaign, overshadowed Litton Das’s whirlwind innings of 60 off just 27 as India registered a famous five-run victory by DL method over Bangladesh in Match 35 at the Adelaide Oval. Kohli struck an unbeaten 64 off 44 with eight fours and a six while KL Rahul also returned to form with his half-century. The Men in Blue recorded their highest total of 184/6 in 20 overs before rain reduced the target to 151 in 16 overs for Bangladesh. A terrible collapse from the Bangla Tigers post-rain-break saw them fall short of the target narrowly.
Chasing 185, Litton Das came out with all guns blazing as he smashed the Indian bowlers all around the park. The right-handed batter brought up his half-century in just 21 deliveries, the second-fastest by a Bangladeshi in the format. Courtesy of Das, Bangladesh cruised to 60/0 after the completion of the powerplay. With the score at 66/0 after seven overs, the heavens opened up as the match got stalled.
