Despite a sluggish start to the year, the 33-year-old Kohli found his rhythm in the Asia Cup and in the bilateral series matches against Australia and South Africa that preceded the competition.
His unbeaten knock of 82 earned praise from all quarters, with former Australian Greg Chappell describing his innings as a “song by God”. Chappell also called Kohli the “most complete Indian batsman” of his time.
