Kohli looked at his absolute best as he used his wristwork brilliantly. His pick up six during Trent Boult's over was the highlight of his knock, along with a few fours that he smashed as the ball went towards the off-side.

He batted carefully against spinners and rotated strikes brilliantly during Mitchell Santner and Mayank Markande's over and made sure that the scoreboard was ticking. He also took advantage of a few loose balls and smashed a brilliant four in Shardul Thakur's over.

But his entire knock didn't go as planned, as he took some time to bring up his half-century, which showed his restrained approach. When he was about to bat aggressively, Hardik Pandya took his wicket by bowling a full toss. Although Kohli might not be at his free-flowing best, Rajat Patidar's record-breaking half-century off 53 balls made sure that they posted a target of more than 200 runs.
