Kohli’s strike rate of 154.69 showed that he is a player who can quickly change things and put pressure on bowlers. He was absolutely fantastic all season long, compiling five half-centuries and one brilliant hundred that showed how dominating he can be out there. In addition to this, with sixty-two boundaries and thirty-eight towering sixes; he lit up the tournament where fans were thrilled with every moment.

His century was a batting masterclass – paced innings with traditional shots mixed with innovative stroke play.There were also some key half-centuries which came at trying times when either building or consolidating an innings.
