Watch: 'Shot of an emperor' - Virat Kohli repeats MCG magic with stunning six off Naveen-ul-Haq in T20 World Cup

India batter Virat Kohli looked in decent touch with the bat in the ongoing game against Afghanistan in the T20 World Cup 2024. The Super 8 stage game of the tournament between the teams is taking place at the Kensington Oval in Bridgetown, Barbados.

Virat Kohli, who bagged a series a low score ahead of the ongoing game against Afghanistan, looked a lot better than in the last three games and it seemed that he would set the stage on fire in India's first game of the Super 8 stage at the Kensington Oval in Bridgetown, Barbados.

This was quite evident when Virat Kohli recreated his iconic six of the Melbourne Cricket Ground against Haris Rauf during the game against Pakistan in the T20 World Cup 2022. He hit the shot during the 5th over the ongoing game against Naveen-ul-Haq.

Naveen-ul-Haq bowled a short of a length around off that sat up nicely. Virat Kohli thumped it over the bowler's head and the shot gave the real glimpses of six against Rauf in the previous T20 World Cup down under.
