5 Best knocks of Virat Kohli in 2021
Despite not scoring a single century in 2021 as of now, Virat Kohli played several memorable knocks this year.
2) 80* (52) vs England 5th T20I
Irrespective of his current form in the longest format of the game, the 33-year-old’s form in the shortest format of the game is yet to deteriorate. In a series decider England, who happens to be one of the best T20I sides, the Delhi batter rose to the occasion once again.
After being asked to bat first by Eoin Morgan, the then T20I captain opened the innings with Rohit Sharma. He looked like a man on a mission and went on hitting the ball to all parts of the ground. Ahmedabad witnessed him at his vintage best, as he went on to score an unbeaten 82.
While it came off just the 52 deliveries, the strike rate at which he was playing that day was a whopping 153.85. This resulted in India posting a massive 224 in the first innings. The Morgan-led side failed to chase this total, and fell short by 36 runs and thus, India ended up winning this game, as well as the series. The Indian T20I skipper of that series then went on to win the Player of the Match award, as well as the Player of the Series award.
