Virat Kohli, often referred to as the 'Run Machine,' once again proved his mettle in a thrilling display of batting brilliance during the World Cup clash against Afghanistan. With his impeccable skills and current top form, Kohli spearheaded India's chase of Afghanistan's target of 256, eventually leading the team to victory with a score of 257 for the loss of only two wickets, Rohit Sharma and Ishan Kishan.

In the 34th over, as Azmatullah Omarzai took the ball, Kohli wasted no time, smashing a boundary off the first delivery. It was a display of sheer precision and power. Then, at the 34.5 over mark, Kohli executed a breathtaking top-edged pull shot, which, to Afghanistan's dismay, landed safely at deep backward square leg. This feat marked back-to-back fifties for Kohli, and an impressive 68th in his illustrious ODI career. The crowd erupted with applause, recognizing the genius of Kohli's batting prowess.

Kohli, however, didn't stop at the fifties; he took charge to finish the game in style. With another powerful boundary, he stepped down the ground and executed a perfectly lofted on-drive. This shot signaled the end of the match, as India secured an 8-wicket win with a substantial 15 overs to spare.
