Kohli hits three consecutive sixes off Nathan Coulter-Nile: The Indian captain was on fire in the second T20I vs Australia.

During the second T20I of the ongoing Australia’s tour of India at Bengaluru, India captain Virat Kohli scored his 20th T20I half-century to power India to 190-4 in their allotted quota of 20 overs.

Coming in to bat at No. 3 in the eighth over, Kohli witnessed a couple of wickets falling at regular intervals with him at the non-striker’s end. It was only until former India captain and current wicket-keeper batsman Mahendra Singh Dhoni arrived at the crease that the duo steered India to a handsome total.

Sharing a 100-run stand for the fourth wicket, the duo took the mantle against the Australian bowlers. Having scored 77 runs in the last five overs, India posted a formidable total on the board.

Kohli completes 50 T20I sixes

During the course of his innings, Kohli also completed 50 sixes in T20Is. Having hit the first one off Jhye Richardson in the 15th over, he ended up hitting five more in the innings.

On the penultimate delivery of the 17th over, Kohli ran a single off Australia leg-spinner Adam Zampa to complete his half-century. Taking on Richardson, the 30-year old cricketer hit a six and a four in the 19th over to follow it up with a six on the last ball of the innings off Pat Cummins.

Playing till the end, Kohli ended up scoring 72* (38) with the help of two fours and six sixes. While he was severe throughout his innings, him scoring three consecutive sixes off Australia and Royal Challengers Bangalore fast bowler Nathan Coulter-Nile remained the highlight of the match.
