00:00goes on no reviews left
00:05without police of the mark and in great style special timing and touch of
00:12without calling the ball just races off the bat get one of the shot
00:20such a master prior this
00:24beautiful isn't it rush how quickly did he move on to that in the flash he was
00:30on to it against you boys was magic
00:38bottom add and it's gone sizzling off the turf before
00:45that's magic how quick are those wrists
00:50not entirely in line I couldn't even think of why did Juan Pereira has come
00:56into the attack at this stage
01:06it gets so low on the ball and once again the bottom hand comes into play so he's
01:11dealing in boundaries there Virat Kohli
01:15three fours already I do think it's a good move
01:19because harder ball just as it'll skid on or bounce a bit more it will also come
01:26off the bat quickly but the key to that shot was the big stride Virat Kohli gets
01:31into it very few players can play for the six and that's going to be a boundary I think
01:38yes
01:45he's run all the way across he's bruised his knee he's fallen flat on his
01:49stomach is on everything and saved one
01:51I mean most is it's admirable you still save one
01:54struggling all the way around here who'd come again
01:59he's done well though
02:03and very well
02:05ringer
02:17oh
02:17初
02:18we just overran the ball
02:25his jaw NY
02:26I was going to be left security
02:31yeah he did he was it was waiting waiting waiting for
02:34Pujara to make sure he was ready for that fourth run. They can have a little giggle about it now
02:38But what did this fit? Did it hit something or did he just overrun it?
02:41I just over ran it started to spin a little bit as well because of the sidearm throw
02:49Strike critters got better
02:52What a shot that
02:54It's a good ball just angling in onto his pad that this is not so much on the front foot
02:59It's a back foot punch and once again the ball races to the boundary
03:09Wowie what a strike that is
03:16Balance cracked it good hard hands just meets the ball. That's what's beautiful about a good new ball on a fantastic wicket
03:30Bad delivery just no control at all the field is set
03:34For what should be a middle next some line that was wide outside the off zone. So that's a real gift for the batsman
03:43Yeah, the idea has been right
03:45Just that it's not his day floating it getting the drift
03:50But over compensating over pitching and he plays that shot really well
03:59He wants to come back for the second
04:03Just the single for him but gets a 50 another international 50 a test 50 for Virat Kohli
04:10He's got 15 of them now
04:20Just amazing
04:22He's lost complete control you've got to feel for the off spinner another
04:34Gift for Virat Kohli second and two of us
04:42Yeah, definitely have to feel for
04:44Once again wanting to do something
04:46Doesn't come out and just easy pickings for
04:51Virat Kohli
04:52Dispatch it wherever you want to and he's trying to do everything
04:59Straight away, Virat Kohli in strike
05:02The defense the defendable ball becomes a hitable ball when Kohli is in strike hundred of the partnership comes up
05:10Just as the hundred over mark clicks by
05:12Absolutely glorious
05:17On one hand you see somebody like Chetish or Pujar hit the fielder and you see virat Kohli miss the fielder
05:24so often
05:26Just confident stride positive
05:29And the timing was impeccable
05:31And we find that gap yes good enough for two not good enough for four but good enough for two
05:50I think he intended to play that slot straighter
05:52The numbers have to change at some stage now my only chance looks like
06:08As if Kohli gets himself out which is unlikely
06:12I'll tell you what else is working against you which is that midway through the over Kohli is a great player of the two
06:17A hundred people waiting with a camera because the team is staying in the same hotel
06:26Cook single
06:28Might pick up an extra anyway
06:31So the ability to be able to do that as well when you're overseas I think puts you in a much more comfortable position
06:36Now this is virat Kohli's got two bonus runs for his side most batsmen wouldn't have gone for that single to begin with
06:46Played the ball to mid off and started sprinting
06:48The fielder is there to save the single and that prompted herod
06:52To throw and there was no one backing up so he got that extra run so again the urgency of virat Kohli
06:58When he's batting getting those two bonus runs for india is now in the 80s
07:03Also got to pick your fielder he saw it was hit up
07:08And against her oh what a shot what a lovely shot
07:14At this time he hit it wide of her well wide of her
07:20Well wide of the wide era
07:22Beautiful shot
07:30Leaning into the drive
07:34That's why it's such a joy to watch him
07:39Wait up with that by the extra cover fielder but it had been hit so well
07:43And the gap had been picked precisely
07:46Magnificent
07:47In the 80s now on 284
07:55Just watching that drive again, you know confirms that plan is not working
07:59They're trying to bowl that ball outside the awesome no life in the pitch. He's hit that ball on the up
08:03It's not an over pitch delivery not and half all it the head in excellent position
08:07And I really think it's time for plan b they just can't keep bowling there and hoping that virat Kohli gets out on this pitch
08:15No lateral movement just the one slip
08:19And he's just looking good with that line scoring runs as well, so they're not able to keep him quiet
08:24The field is very strong on the offside a couple of those guys that could move on the on
08:28And they could try a different line the one that I was suggesting middle stump line
08:35It's another thing you could try I think it's gone off the glove
08:40Yeah given us four and virat Kohli also may have just suggested that to the umpire
08:47He reckons it might have been the the bat handle he holds it back quite low
08:57So the top of the handle sometimes again that come out yes, you can see that
09:01We're looking to leave it
09:03And it's taken the the handle games too easy when you can put it like that
09:08Oh sick of the middle of the battle just use the end of the handle
09:10That might just beat the fielder into the boundary off the rebound it does
09:23There's always a boundary is always a good time to see even better in your 90s three six nine for two
09:40And switch off the sound though I heard a few batsmen tell me that there's a lot of sound in the stadium and they haven't heard it
09:51The bowlers I reckon this situation they want to get a wicket so I think he's going to go straight at the stumps here russ
10:12I reckon he needs to get a leg slipping
10:16Once again clutching but anyway yes let's move on
10:18It's never been dismissed on 99 that really only time he's been dismissed in the 90s has been 96
10:29Everyone's coming in for the single now
10:34Through the onside
10:35Gerard Kohli picks up yet another century just a walk in the park for number three number 18
10:42Now number 19 correction just a walk in the park you remember some hundreds because
10:50You struggle that there's been he's overcome this is very easy
10:56Not exactly easy I don't think but
10:59Definitely made it look easy that's for certain
11:02He came in with absolute clear intent on scoring almost at a run of ball till he's 50
11:09You have to watch a good hundred well-constructed hundred a hundred that
11:21Context of his career
11:23Is an important hundred as well I think going into an abroad season
11:30Certainly a fabulous fabulous domestic season lots of test matches in india this year
11:43And good to see that respect as well
11:47Oh, it's given them no chance
11:49It's possible the situation from the moment he walked in
11:53I think that's ideal for Dilran Guerrero
11:56He's probably got to look to both another six inches wider
12:01Than what he did there and get that fielder in with the chess guy
12:09Beautiful timing
12:12Pick up four more
12:13Yeah, people will applaud as they should it's a good shot, but again, I don't understand what sri lanka is up to here
12:22There's no planning
12:26Just resigned to the faith they're coming in bowling with that same line outside the off-sterm he's walked on the
12:31Offside to play that on the leg side. There's no fielder there. He'll keep doing that whole day nothing in the pitch
12:38Ball on the sixth numbers well. He can do it and just whip you towards mid-wicket before
12:48Oh lovely what a wonderful piece of timing beats mid off
12:54There's one yesterday of a seam ball a back foot punch towards mid-wicket and this one I think the two best shot that is played in the sittings
13:01The greatest effort there from uh, they'll run perera and what a shot
13:11It's a juicy full toss and a little miss field again that's going to run away across the advertising
13:29Signage and down to the boundary for very very sloppy
13:33Juicy and slurpy
13:37Juicy and slurpy
13:41Oh
13:44They've been a bit different haven't they too many times yeah, this was a bubble
13:51You think that the ground is even and just at the last nanosecond it just bubbles up on you goes over that hand
13:58And
14:02Suranga lakmal into the attack
14:05It's an outstanding shot from virad kohli
14:12Welcome to the comb box Dooley and hate us
14:20Little shimmy, I think he's been wanting to do this for the entire innings
14:24Horrific shot just creates momentum to his feet effortlessly then the bat flows
14:37Goes for it this time there is long on
14:40But clears it doesn't care him by too much 150 to virad kohli
14:46It's the seventh time he's been 150 plus and what a way to bring it up
14:53He reaches his milestones
14:56In dynamic fashion we saw last test match bring up 100 with an unbelievable six over the top of extra cover
15:04And on this occasion he sees long on he backs himself as he's done this entire 265 minutes that he's been at the crease
15:16He also brings up the 450 of the Indian innings
15:24These hands here that wrist
15:28bottom hand is unbelievable
15:34I just be able to get around it stop the ball a couple of runs
15:39Where is this landing one bounce inside the rope?
15:49Kind of short
15:52You see from virad kohli when he's in that top gear and limited overs cricket
15:56He's playing differently today. This is a test match innings
16:00But the intent is of white ball cricket here
16:04It was halfway down the pitch
16:08He knew exactly where the fielder was the fielder was a little square mid wicket so he's hit it wide of it
16:16All the time in the world to be able to place the shot where he wanted you can see it's well away from that fielder there at deep mid wicket
16:23Now perhaps a bit too late, but they finally changed that line from outside the offstrum to middle and leg
16:29Few more runs could be buys
16:38To the field now more on the next side and the seam are being asked to attack the stumps more, but I think it's a bit too late and
16:45Not sure shana take the bullet to do it. Maybe more luck mal and gamma game
16:49Missed out on a boundary there. Not that one. This one was the
16:53The shot one bounce over the boundary rope
16:56Oh
17:06Oh, this is classic goalie
17:11It's gone for six tell you what is that a better bottom hand in this game
17:14So fast through the ball so fast might look like he's not quite there, but he's deliberately playing it in that direction
17:25He's taking the field is on
17:32Right in the gap
17:34Amazing to watch sensational I don't I'm not sure he was he realized he's going that far
17:45He's going to score it with a six
17:59As we saw in Kolkata as we saw earlier in this innings the field comes in
18:04I think it'll be a nudge let's see
18:10Easily done
18:11Virat Kohli goes to 200 for the fifth time in his career
18:15Javier seeing a modern greater the height of his powers just
18:20Toying with the bowling making it all look so simple
18:26200 not a lot of player have you seen
18:32Top knock from the moment he walked in last evening around this time
18:36That's been some fantastic shots played
18:50Done this before and they're going to do it again uploading a fine innings by Virat Kohli
19:07Oh
19:11Just
19:12He's doing he's doing as he pleases
19:16Literally as he pleases
19:18I promise you he wanted to pay that same ball to find like he would have in this form
19:24I think the fielders are going to ask him
19:26He's reached a stage where I can't see any just sees the spaces in between
19:3331 matches his captain is averaging 65
19:37The reason you look at numbers like those is to see if you can judge whether people enjoy leading the side not everyone does
19:43With the batty a lot of pressure on the young man after coming and after
19:48Brendan McCollum
19:49He's got to find a way to enjoy leading and enjoy scoring runs as well
19:54To be fair as well, Russ those those numbers Kohli as captain and Kohli not as captain
19:58Have also coincided with Kohli's best years as a batsman so he might well have got those if Dhoni was captain too
20:04Very true
20:07On the other hand, I reckon the players around you
20:13That run away for four
20:14He's playing shots that you don't always see of him because Kohli is just so good playing traditional shots down the ground
20:23I don't see him playing this too often risk free. There's no one down there
20:26players around you also make a difference
20:34You have a good team and you do have depth at this stage what a great balance the winning matches
20:41And I don't think he's timed that very well
20:49Fielder underneath it will take the catch
20:52The crowd will rise and there'll be applause once again as Virat Kohli comes back
20:56213 from 267 balls in very good time and an outstanding innings comes to an end
21:06Probably the first mistake he's made
21:09In his long stay at the crease but you can understand what he was thinking right now get a move on
21:15Bottom of the back
21:18Bottom of the back
21:20Lahiru Thirimana at long on he would have been feeling dizzy
21:26Dizzy till he hung on
21:27Virat Kohli magnificent 213
21:30583 for 5
