Virat Kohli dismissed Ruturaj Gaikwad
In the 34th over of the game, Corbin Bosch bowled the ball, the fast bowler bowled the ball towards Virat Kohli, who hit the ball behind the bowler’s head. Ruturaj Gaikwad, who was standing in the middle, had to duck and be careful as it almost took off his helmet.
On a fuller length, Kohli had the ball in the slot, stepped forward to create some space for the shot and hit the ball with his lower hand. The heavy whip with horizontal blows almost burned Hayes as it reached the ropes.
The player completed his first century and was out on 105; His explosive innings in the match included 12 fours and 2 sixes as he finished the innings after batting at a strike rate of 126.50.
