This time, the victim was Afghanistan’s pacer Naveen-ul-Haq, and the moment took place during the ongoing 2nd T20I match between India and Afghanistan at Holkar Stadium in Indore. Kohli, known for his impeccable timing and aggressive batting, successfully pulled off a similar six that had etched his name in the cricketing history books. The original shot against Haris Rauf had come during the T20 World Cup in Melbourne, and the recent recreation showcased Kohli’s determination to relive those magical moments.
