Mumbai's scorching heat during India's World Cup 2023 semi-final against New Zealand made headlines on Wednesday (November 15). 

Earlier in the innings, Shubman Gill had to retire hurt from the game, and even Virat Kohli, considered one of the fittest players in cricket, faced the heat on his way to scoring his 50th ODI century.

Therefore, while having a break in the middle, Kohli went straight to Will Young, who brought a few drinks as a 12th man for New Zealand.

In fact, when Kohli having a drink, Mitchell Santner was having a light chat with him, possibly because he was also asking how he managed to bat so long under these conditions.

Kohli replied cheekily, but unfortunately, it did not go on air.

Meanwhile, Kohli's flamboyant 113-ball 117, laced with nine fours and two sixes, was lauded by each and every individual who were there at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. Considering the pressure in knock-outs that too under scorching heat, this knock by Kohli against the Trent Boult-led New Zealand attack will be remembered for ages.
