In his comeback to T20 internationals after a 14-month break, Virat Kohli displayed a remarkable cameo of 29 runs off 16 balls, demonstrating a fresh approach to the shortest format of the game. Throughout his innings, Kohli struck 5 fours while facing Afghanistan pacer Naveen-ul-Haq, with whom he had a well-known altercation during the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 season.
Kohli almost replicated his iconic T20 World Cup 2022 shot against Pakistan’s Haris Rauf, but this time, the ball fell just short, earning him only 4 runs. Fans noticed the similarities between the two shots, but Kohli himself was not entirely satisfied as he desired the ball to travel a greater distance for a six.
