Virat Kohli yet again showed why he is a different class altogether. He mastered his way to a 123 made off 95 balls but consistently lost out of partners at the other end and was not able to take India home.

He removed in-form players like MS Dhoni and Kedar Jadhav before getting a well-settled Virat Kohli out. It was the Indian captain’s wicket which turned the game on its face. AFP[/caption]
