Virat Kohli, who failed in the second ODI in Cuttack Vs England was back to his imperial best as he looked in ominous touch and played some gorgeous shots to push the England side on the back-foot. Rohit Sharma departed cheaply and India needed to resurrected the innings as Kohli and Shubman Gill forged a partnership.

For Kohli, England skipper Jos Buttler brought in Joe Root, but the move failed as the Indian batter took him down with ease. Buttler, then brought his best bowler against the India great as Adil Rashid came into the attack.

The move almost paid off as Adil Rashid trapped him on the front leg, but the umpire gave it not out. England took the review and Kohli survived by the barest of margins as the ball had just pitched outside the leg.

England couldn't believe his luck as Phil Salt, Kohli's RCB mate was left shell-shocked by the umpire's decision. However, Liam Livingstone, another RCB signing was amused and shared a funny moment with Kohli as the duo shared a laugh together.

Virat Kohli conquers Asia

Virat Kohli has been India's best ODI batter for more than a decade now and on Wednesday, he became the 4th Asian batter and second Indian to amass 16,000 runs in Asia, and he achieved the feat in just 340 innings.

The star batter has been India's rock in the batting order and he breached yet another milestone on a lovely batting day for the Indian side.

Kohli played a scintillating knock and reached a brilliant fifty, however, Rashid finally got his man as Kohli departed just after breaching the 50-run mark.
