Cricket Australia Names The ‘Best Test XI’ Of The Decade: It has been a great year for ‘King’ Kohli. From creating new records to breaking world records, Virat Kohli was phenomenal this year. Virat Kohli gave us many magical moments on-field with his brilliance with the bat.
In the just-concluded series against West Indies as well, Virat Kohli did what he does best. He smashed the bowlers of West Indies to all the corners of the ground. In the decider match, he took charge on-field when his side had already lost a flurry of wickets. He scored 85 runs off 81 balls, hitting 9 fours.
Looking at the numbers, it won’t be wrong to say that the year belonged to the masterclass of Virat Kohli. Kohli ends this year, with numbers that scream his dominance, especially in ODI.
