"This has been a masterclass from Virat Kohli. If you're a young batsman anywhere in the world, watch this innings again but with a notebook and a pen," tweeted Wasim Jaffer.

Kohli started off cautiously before going into overdrive in the last five overs. With Hardik Pandya unusually slow to get off the mark at the other end, Kohli took upon himself the responsibility to accelerate at the death.
He hit Chris Jordan and Mark Wood for fours and sixes all around the ground with the trademark shot of the innings coming in the 18th over when Kohli off-drove Wood uppishly, all the way over the fence at long-off for a six.
He hit Wood for 6, 6, 4 in the 18th over and followed it with a four off Jofra Archer in the next and another off Chris Jordan in the final over.
