During a discussion on Cricbuzz, he mentioned how the right-handed batter looked to rotate the strike after hitting a boundary. Parthiv suggested that it seems that the seasoned campaigner is regaining his confidence. He explained:
India’s run-chase started on a shaky note, with opener KL Rahul getting out for a golden duck in the first over. Kohli steadied the ship for the Men in Blue with a 35-run knock from 34 deliveries.
“The biggest plus for me is that Virat Kohli was able to spend time at the crease” - Parthiv Patel
Pathiv Patel further added that it was crucial for Kohli to spend time at the crease as he was returning to the team after a break. He pointed out that the player managed to do that, and that too in challenging conditions.
The cricketer-turned-commentator highlighted that Kohli did a fine job for the side, surviving a tough period when the Pakistani bowlers were firing on all cylinders. Parthiv elaborated:
India claimed an important five-run victory in their opening fixture of the ongoing Asia Cup. The Rohit Sharma-led side chased down Pakistan’s total of 147 with two deliveries to spare to start the continental tournament on a positive note.
