Kohli, who picked most of those runs off Mujeeb, has been the aggressor in the partnership so far but Rahul isn't far behind.
Mujeeb, who was so economical against Pakistan, went for 25 runs in his three overs inside the PP, which included 15 runs from the sixth over.
It's a good pitch yes but the intent has been there to see. KL Rahul, who's looked a bit out of touch lately, brings up the milestone off 36 balls. Kohli, the best batter from India in terms of runs at Asia Cup, brings up his third fifty this edition. Suryakumar Yadav gets off the mark with a scooped six over fine leg but perishes next ball, dragging on a hard length delivery onto his stumps. Fareed Ahmad gets Rahul miscuing a cross-seamer short ball. His game against spin has been the highlight of his knock.Īfghanistan have finally broken the 119-run opening stand. Gets to the milestone off 53 balls too, so take that. Stop counting the days y'all! What a fantastic knock, and what a time to bring up his maiden ton in T20 Internationals. Virat Kohli's 71st international hundred is finally here. "This hundred is especially dedicated to Anushka and our little daughter Vamika as well," he says after the innings.Ĭan Afghanistan chase this? We'd have watched something special if that happens. He took on the spinners, the long boundaries and dispatched anything and everything. But even more sublime was his form tonight, which delivered him to a much-awaited 71st international hundred. And it was all Kohli, using his crease well and punishing anything good or bad on a sublime pitch. Bhuvneshwar Kumar has picked four of those wickets in his first three overs, and Arshdeep has chipped in with the remaining one. That should tell you all you need to know. India were 52/0 after the PP, Afghanistan are 21/5.
