Virat Kohli, is in form, he’s a nightmare for bowlers. A similar scenario was evident during the Asia Cup 2022, when Kohli broke a nearly three-year century drought with a blistering innings against Afghanistan. This match was not only significant for India but also marked a turning point in Kohli’s career.
Gave a direct reply to critics by scoring a century
At that time, the pressure on Kohli was at its peak. From social media and experts to former cricketers, everyone began raising questions. Everyone wondered if his time was over. But Kohli responded with such force on the field that he silenced all critics. In the match against Afghanistan, he scored an unbeaten 122 off 61 balls at a strike rate of 200.
Stormy innings of 12 fours and 6 sixes
Kohli smashed 12 fours and six sixes in this innings. He showcased his classic timing and a formidable blend of power. His shots, hitting every corner of the field, proved that his game isn’t over yet; in fact, he’s even more dangerous than ever. Batting first, India scored 212 runs for just two wickets in 20 overs, in which Kohli’s innings was the biggest contribution.
Great victory for India
Chasing the target, Afghanistan couldn’t stand up to India’s bowlers. Bhuvneshwar Kumar’s swinging deliveries tore at the Afghan batsmen, taking five wickets for just four runs. Afghanistan were bowled out for 111, and India secured a commanding 101-run victory.
