Crosses 450 Sixes Milestone
In addition to his record runs, Kohli also achieved another significant milestone by hitting his 450th six in T20 cricket. He became the second Indian player to reach this landmark, with Rohit Sharma leading the list. This achievement showcases Kohli's aggressive batting style.
Aggressive Play Against Rabada
During the match, Kohli displayed his aggressive batting against Rabada, hitting five consecutive boundaries in one over, putting immense pressure on the bowler. His explosive performance entertained the crowd and set the tone for the match.
Rabada Strikes Back
However, Rabada made a strong comeback by dismissing Kohli. Attempting a pull shot on a back-of-length delivery, Kohli's shot went high off the bat due to extra bounce, leading to an easy catch for Rashid Khan at short midwicket. Kohli's disappointment was evident as he walked back after scoring 28 runs, but he had still made history with his performance.
