Hyderabad: Virat Kohli has always entertained the Hyderabadi cricket fans as he played some brilliant knocks at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium. India played two T20I matches at the RGI Stadium, and Virat managed to score half-centuries in both matches. He also smashed a double ton in a Test match at the same venue in 2017.

In yesterday’s decider game against Australia in Hyderabad, Virat again rose to the occasion against the tough opposition and scored 63 off 48 balls to usher his side to a thumping win. His match-winning knock was laced with 3 fours and 4 sixes. Virat scored many half-centuries in his T20 International career, 33 altogether, but yesterday’s half-century was one of his best knocks.
