It is fun to watch Virat Kohli on days like these. He and Kesrick Williams had had some sort of running argument during the run-chase; the two nearly collided, stared at each other, and exchanged words between overs.
The outcome of all that was Kohli seemed furiously determined to make a point; and he did so, loud and clear. India’s captain hammered an unbeaten, career-best 50 ball-94 (6x4, 6x6) as his side defeated West Indies by six wickets in the first T20I at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium here on Friday.
Chasing 208 for victory, India strolled home with eight balls to spare. Kohli applied the finishing touches, unfurling two exquisite sixes over the off-side boundary off Williams before pointing to the back of his shirt and exulting.
The foundation for the win was laid by K.L. Rahul and Kohli, who added 100 (62b) for the second wicket after Rohit Sharma had departed early.
Great touch
