BCCI Shares “Throwback” Videos Of Virat Kohli’s ODI Masterclass

With fans still trying to digest Virat Kohli’s removal from Team India’s white-ball captaincy, the BCCI took to social media to pay tribute to the 33-year-old with some nostalgic throwback videos. In the first video, the Indian cricket board made fans take a walk down memory lane with highlights of his match-winning knock against England in 2017. The match against England was part of a three-match ODI series which also marked Kohli’s beginning as Indian ODI skipper. In the first ODI, the swashbuckling batter slammed 122 off 105 balls to help India chase down a target of 351 runs. His knock consisted of eight fours and five sixes as India reached 356 for seven in 48.1 overs. The match also saw Kedar Jadhav bag a ton with India going on to seal a 2-1 win in the series.

The video has been well-received by fans on Twitter and it has been captioned as, “THROWBACK @imVkohli announced his arrival as #TeamIndia ODI captain with a stunning match-winning knock in the chase in Pune. Relive that batting masterclass against England”.
