Kohli, who is back after a two-month paternity break, scored a match-winning 77 off 49 balls for Royal Challengers Bengaluru on Monday night against Punjab Kings and deservedly walked away with the player of the match honours.
Bengaluru: “I’ve still got it, I guess,” Virat Kohli said asserting his T20 credentials, unwilling to be just the megastar whose name is being ‘attached to promoting the game’ two months before cricket enters unchartered territory with the T20 World Cup in the USA.
Kohli, who is back after a two-month paternity break, scored a match-winning 77 off 49 balls for Royal Challengers Bengaluru on Monday night against Punjab Kings and deservedly walked away with the player of the match honours.
“I know my name is nowadays quite attached to just promoting the game in many parts of the world when it comes to T20 cricket. But, I’ve still got it, I guess,” said the 35-year-old father of two in the post-match presentation.
The hallmark of Kohli’s classy knock was the way he stepped out to dispatch the fast bowlers over the extra cover boundary.
The former India captain has nothing left to prove but he realises the need for constant evolution in T20 format.
