For the initial half of the innings, Virat Kohli played a blend of quick singles and stylish doubles to keep Chennai Super Kings’ bowlers under pressure. As the powerplay ended, Kohli began to find gaps in the field that were not visible to the audience watching on their television screens, showcasing his elegant batting.
Shardul Thakur’s quick double-wicket over put the pressure back on RCB’s batsmen to increase the scoring rate. Virat Kohli emerged as the key player to prevent RCB from scoring a low total against CSK, as he landed a six against Sam Curran in the 14th delivery of his innings, although with a bit of luck.
Following that, Kohli dominated Curran and scored 24 runs off his over, including two sixes. In the subsequent over, Kohli smashed yet another six, proving that he was in impeccable form. His remarkable performance had to lead to something, and it did as Kohli continued playing with utter abandon.
When Dwayne Bravo charged in for the final over, the right-hander remained calm and composed as he executed a scintillating boundary by sweeping the ball in a ‘360-degree’ manner, emulating his teammate AB de Villiers.
To top it all off, he even gestured towards the dressing room, indicating his capability to execute similar shots.
