Virat Kohli did it once again! If there's a batter in this world that knows just how to trick destiny and turn momentum his way then its Kohli. In India's last game against Bangladesh, the star batter scored his third unbeaten fifty in the T20 World Cup 2022 (64 off of 44 deliveries). 

Legend Sunil Gavaskar has commented on Kohli's phenomenal run stint at the Adelaide Oval. 

What Sunny G said

"I think every player has a favourite ground. A ground where he feels comfortable. The wides of the ground are very good. When the crowd comes in, they know they are going to support you. I think for Kohli, it is the Adelaide ground."

"That’s where he got his first Test century, that’s where he got so many runs. That’s where he got a century in each innings as a captain. That’s where he got a hundred against Pakistan in the 2015 World Cup." 

"And all these runs were scored when India needed those runs badly. That certainly gives him the belief that whenever he comes to Adelaide, he will get those runs. And he showed that again today with that innings."

Virat loves batting at Adelaide

"I absolutely love playing in this ground. Right from the nets at the back, as soon as I enter, it makes me feel at home. That knock at MCG was meant to be, but when I come here, it's like I'm meant to come to Adelaide and enjoy my batting."

Virat Kohli's knock ultimately led to India's victory, even though Litton Das did give a scare in the second innings of the match, Indian bowlers later crumpled the Bangladesh batting lineup. Arshdeep Singh stood as saviour in the death overs. Once again scalping 2 wickets in the same over.
