Is that old Virat back? King Kohli with a thug reply
Kohli scored his third half-century and second Man of the Match award in the tournament and added value to the Indian team. The cricketing world is not seeing Kohli as it was seen some time ago. Out-of-form, Kohli struggled to score runs and received constant criticism.
But the entire sports world witnessed the comeback of a cricketer named Virat. The winning streak that started in the Asia Cup is now continuing in the T20 World Cup as well.
After the match once morest Bangladesh, the player also held the record of scoring the most runs in the T20 World Cup. Kohli broke Mahela Jayawardene’s record of 1016 runs to become the top run-scorer.
All the fans are saying that they got their old Virat back. Harsha Bhogle mightn’t help but ask this during the post-match presentation following the match once morest Bangladesh.
‘Is that old Virat Kohli back?’ Harsha Bhogle asked. But Kohli answered this in an interesting way.
‘It was a very close match. It was a much closer match than we wanted. It was a very good batting day for me. I was trying to compete and play by myself.
I came into batting at a stressful time. Bowling was clearly observed. To answer your question I am in a very happy place right now. I don’t want to compare anything to anything. “What’s past is over,” Kohli said.
Earlier, the Bangladesh skipper won the toss and sent India into bat. India has already lost captain Rohit Sharma in KL. A good score was built on the strength of Rahul’s and former captain Virat’s innings.
Virat scored an unbeaten 64 from 44 balls and Rahul shone with 50 runs from 32 balls. Suryakumar Yadav also provided good support with 30 runs from 16 balls.
India ended the innings at 184 for six in the stipulated over due to the brilliant innings of the trio.
Batting in reply, Bangladesh got off to a dream start. A half-century from opener Liton Das led the Bengal Tigers to the fore when rain came and halted the match.
After the rain, the target was revised to 151 in 16 overs. But soon following Liton Das got out, Bangladesh’s victory was also going away.
After the win once morest Bangladesh, India also managed to top the group standings.
India’s next match is on November 6. Chevrons will be the opponents in the match at the Melbourne Cricket Ground.

Ahead of the T20 World Cup Super 12 match once morest Bangladesh, there were big questions regarding wicketkeeper-batsman Dinesh Karthik’s fitness. However, the player recovered from the injury and made it to the playing eleven.
There were reports that Rishabh Pant might play instead of Tara. Karthik reaches the crease when India stands at 130 runs for the loss of four wickets in 15.1 overs. Karthik’s batting performance in the first two matches was disappointing.
Against Bangladesh, the batting started with a boundary, but the fate was different. On the last ball of the 17th over, Virat Kohli hit the ball to extra cover. Then he ran a few steps forward to run. Seeing this, Karthik also ran for the run. But, realizing that the ball was in the hands of the fielder, Kohli came back. By then, Karthik had reached the middle of the crease.
He ran back but the bowler was stumped before reaching the crease. Adjudged to be out on replay, the player returned in disappointment with seven runs. Confusion with Kohli led to Karthik’s run-out. Fans reacted to this in various ways on Twitter.
‘Virat Kohli ended Dinesh Karthik’s career… Thanks DK!’ A fan tweeted. Earlier, a fan shared a picture of Kohli and Karthik getting out in a similar fashion while batting. After a long excitement till the last ball of the match, Bangladesh fought and lost. India won by five runs.
A single-handed victory for the team; Kohli with Boomchika wow moment

But Kohli marked his name in the competition through extraordinary fielding skills. It turned out to be a shocking performance in the cricket world.

The incident happened on the third ball of Shami’s last over. Had Kohli not taken that brilliant catch, the six would have gone and India would have lost the match.
The video of Kohli’s stunning fielding went viral on social media within minutes.
Meanwhile, India batted first in the warm-up match once morest K.L. On the back of half-centuries from Rahul and Suryakumar Yadav, they scored 186 runs for seven wickets. In reply, the Aussies might only manage to score 180 runs, losing all the wickets in the allotted overs.
