India will be delighted with the score. It was the opening partnership that helped India score this huge score. Both, KL Rahul and Virat Kohli started brightly and scored their respective fifty. Rahul fell but there was no stopping from the other end. Virat Kohli was just playing without any pressure and was scoring boundaries for free. Kohli's 122 included 12 fours and 6 huge sixes. A sparking hundred from King Kohli!
Afghanistan won the toss but after that, it was all India. They looked a bit dizzy, playing back-to-back games and it was clearly seen in their fielding as they dropped few catches. The seamers got some swing early on but they failed to create pressure. Rashid Khan and Mohammad Nabi were erring in their lines. It was really poor performance with the ball by Afghanistan.
The curse is broken! It took 1,019 days for Virat Kohli to score his much-awaited 71st century. That took a while but it was worth waiting. The King has also finally hit his maiden T20I century. So many records have been broken but Virat Kohli has finally done it. Indian cricket fans can finally say - the King is back with a bang.
