Virat Kohli's Special Celebration Against Pakistan in the Asia Cup After Reaching Fifty

Virat Kohli hit his second consecutive fifty after a blistering start from the opening duo of Rohit Sharma and KL Rahul as India posted a stiff 181 for 7 against Sunday's "Super 4" Asia Cup game will feature Pakistan. While the Rohit-Rahul partnership was a testament to India's aggressive approach in the 20-over format, Kohli showed glimpses of his old self with a vital 60 off 44 that featured four boundaries and a six along with his signature runs between the wickets. Kohli reached his half-century in style with a six, the end result of shuffling across the crease and using his wrists well. A nonchalant hit over the corner of the cow helped Kohli reach the milestone in 36 deliveries in the 18th over. He took note of the applause from his teammates and kissed the badge in celebration as the packed Dubai Stadium rose to its feet. Deepak Hooda also came from the non-striker's end to congratulate the former Indian captain. Earlier, Rohit and Rahul put on a brisk 54-run stand and tried to make the most of the power play. When Rohit mistimed Haris Rauf in the sixth over, he was out after making 28 off 16 balls. Shadab Khan struck in the next over to cut Rahul's stay to 28. After removing the dangerous Suryakumar Yadav for 13, traditional left-arm spinner Mohammad Nawaz reduced India to 91 for three before the first ten overs were over. Kohli kept the score going and got the occasional boundary. He saw Rishabh Pant and Hardik Pandya depart for 14 and a 2-ball duck. The 33-year-old helped India survive a stuttering middle order as India reached 181-7 in 20 overs. Youngster Ravi Bishnoi ended the innings with two boundaries as Fakhar Zaman faltered twice in the deep, including dropping a catch that reached the ropes. Shadab stood out for Pakistan with figures of 2-31 from his four overs. It was

Kohli's 32nd half-century in T20Is. He now has 31 more than fifty scores, including four centuries in the format. The Indian is followed by Pakistan's Babar Azam (27 fifties including a century), Australian opener David Warner (23), New Zealand's Martin Guptill (22), and Irish opener Paul Stirling (21). According to the Palghar police, the car crossed the checkpoint at 2:21 p.m., and the collision happened 20 kilometres away (towards Mumbai). "Upon analysis of the Charoti checkpoint's CCTV footage."
