The Indian captain currently is regarded as the best white-ball batsman ever
(Web Desk) – India captain, Virat Kohli thought that his career was over after he threw his wicket away during his comeback match against Pakistan in the 2009 Champions Trophy at Centurion.
While taking a memory down the lane back to the 2009 Champions Trophy in South Africa when the right-hander was finding his feet in international cricket, Kohli said, “I made my comeback against Pakistan during the 2009 Champions Trophy. I remember getting out on 16 while trying to hit Shahid Afridi over his head for a six and got caught at long-off. We lost the game and till 5 am in the morning, I was looking at the ceiling and thinking I am done and gone.”
India’s next game was against Australia which was washed out. The MS Dhoni-led side won their last group match against West Indies – Virat Kohli was Man of the Match – but were ousted from the tournament.
The Indian captain currently is regarded as the best white-ball batsman ever; he has over 22,000 international runs with 70 hundreds.
