Virat Kohli looked in sublime touch in the second innings and unfurled a special shot off Bumrah

After a good-looking 33 ended prematurely in the first innings much to the displeasure of Virat Kohli, the former skipper looked in top form in the second innings, playing some ridiculously good shots on his way to a half-century. Notably, he smashed Jasprit Bumrah for a superb upper cut that landed outside the boundary ropes.

The upper cut from Kohli was the highlight of the innings.
