Not all of that came in boundaries. Kohli kept rotating the strike and picked many runs through legwork. In the last over alone, he took four doubles. He was already playing in the 80s having spent quite a lot of time on the crease. His tireless effort and fitness was hailed by several fans.
“Beating MS Dhoni’s speed with gloves on, just has to be Virat Kohli,” wrote on Twitter user, alongside pictures of Kohli sliding past Dhoni as the latter attempted to run him out.

“That is not as close as it looked man. Unreal. He’s at least 8 inches away and MS has the ball in his gloves,” read a tweet.

There were some comments in support of MS Dhoni as well. One user blamed the throw to be late and hence not a fault of Dhoni.

It is hard to pick sides between two of the sport’s greatest, so we’ll leave the debate to the fans. On this day though, Kohli was the better man, as he got his team the win over CSK and also became the man of the match for his performance with the bat.
