A video Ex-India captain Virat Kohli screaming “Mahi shot” has gone viral overnight. The incident happened after Kohli hits a six with MS Dhoni-like helicopter shot during the third ODI against Sri Lanka on Sunday. In the video, Kohli can be seen slamming a 97-metre six in the 44th over with the helicopter shot and then saying “Mahi shot” to Shreyas Iyer.
Watch: Kohli relishes playing the ‘Mahi shot’ during his great knock against Sri Lanka
On top of that, Virat Kohli returned to his elements to play one of his best knocks in recent times. The Indian batting great showed signs of returning to his very best and struck his second century of the three-match ODI series against Sri Lanka in Thiruvananthapuram on Sunday (January 15).
The modern-day legend was at his vintage best and finished with an astonishing 166 off just 110 deliveries to take India’s total to an impregnable 390/5 in their allotted 50 overs.
His overall tally featured 13 fours and 8 sixes in an innings of great class and pedigree, where the king reinforced his reign on the opposition.
Kohli had scored hundreds in Chattogram and Guwahati, too, from his previous three one-day innings but this was something else, this was perhaps the most telling of the positive state of mind he is returning to with his game and slowly but surely reviving his best self in the middle.
Moreover, who isn’t aware of the comradery Virat and Dhoni share. None of them spare a moment to appreciate and support the other. Hence, this isn’t the first time Kohli has relished the former captain.
