Kohli shares a great rapport with each of his teammates and often makes fun of each other. The players have great respect for each other and back one another even in the worst of times. The top-ranked ODI batsman Kohli has changed the attitude of the whole team where they have fun during the off-time.

Speaking about the semifinal game, Jasprit Bumrah and Bhuvneshwar Kumar were right on the money with the new ball. They bowled three maidens in the first five overs and removed Martin Guptill to put Virat Kohli & Co ahead in the game. Skipper Kane Williamson and Henry Nicholls added 50 runs for the second wicket before Ravindra Jadeja bowled a brilliant delivery to remove Nicholls and give India a breakthrough. Williamson departed after scoring another fifty before Ross Taylor took on the charge. Soon after Taylor reached his half-century, showers came pouring in forcing the umpire to stop the play at the Old Trafford.
