Virat Kohli’s latest mic-drop moment could not have come at a better time.
In the grand theater of cricket, Virat Kohli orchestrated a scene straight out of a Bollywood movie at the iconic Wankhede stadium in Mumbai. Imagine the backdrop: a roaring crowd, Kohli reaching his 50th ODI century, and the drama unfolding like a script Hollywood and Bollywood wishes they had written.
With the finesse of a leading man, as Kohli rises from his knees, takes his helmet off, and the Mumbai crowd in a frenzy – he locks eyes with his Bollywood leading lady, Anushka Sharma, and sends her kisses. Talk about relationship goals?
Breaking records is one thing, but breaking a major record during the semi-finals of a World Cup, in front of your home crowd and legends like Sachin Tendulkar and David Beckham is a special occurence.
Kohli delivered a stellar 117, Shreyas Iyer adds a spicy 105, and the scoreboard reads 397-4. It’s like a cricket match on steroids, and we’re all just here for the show.
But New Zealand isn’t one to back down. Daryl Mitchell takes center stage with a power-packed 134, giving the Kiwis a fighting chance. Then, in a plot twist, Mohammed Shami emerges as the hero, clinching a career-best 7-57. Talk about a show-stealer.
Kane Williamson described India’s incredible World Cup run as ‘the best team in the world’ especially after a thrilling semi-final.
“They’re the best team in the world and they’re all playing their best cricket, so that’s tough,” Williamson said. “I think we see in cricket, often it’s surrounded with failure and how you deal with it. The way they’ve played throughout this tournament has been incredible.”
India will play Austrailia in the Finals as Austrailia defeated South Africa to earn a trip to Ahmedabad to face the unbeaten hosts.
