On the first ball of the 12th over, Siraj returned with e ball to get Rahul, after getting the wicket of Kyle Mayers in the first over. He bowled it full on the pads as Rahul tried to flick it for a maximum but did not get the timing right. It went straight down the throat of the deep square leg where Kohli let out a roar in celebration.

Earlier, Kohli had smashed Avesh Khan for a six and four in consecutive deliveries in the second over to up the tempo after a rather timid start. Avesh was again at the receiving end of Kohli’s wrath as the former India captain clobbered the bowler for three boundaries in the fourth over.
