The dashing right-hander, who has been under scrutiny for his form recently, once again proved his class with a determined 52 off 55 balls in the third and final ODI against England. After missing the first match due to a knee issue and scoring just five runs in the second ODI, Kohli stepped up and reminded everyone why he remains one of the best batters in the final game.

Kevin Pietersen said on Star Sports: “He is one of the greats of the game. There have been too many people who have written him off on too many occasions. You can't write these guys off because of the aura they have when they walk out to bat. The question mark comes down to Virat Kohli.”
Kohli’s hunger will define his future: Pietersen
Pietersen further noted, “The question mark doesn't come down to me, you, the selectors, the coaches, and the other players. Virat Kohli can only answer the question in terms of how long he wants to continue and how much fight he has to get better and to create those high standards that everybody expects from him.”
Virat Kohli batted opposite to his usual style against spin: Sanjay Bangar
During the same discussion, former Indian batting coach Sanjay Bangar hailed Kohli’s comeback fifty in Ahmedabad. He highlighted the Indian star’s strong rhythm and smart approach at the crease. Early in the innings, Kohli took his time, carefully leaving deliveries when two slips and two gullies were placed. As he settled in, he unleashed his trademark cover drives.
Sanjay Bangar said on Star Sports, “He looked in good rhythm. He batted opposite to his usual style against spin. He played many sweep shots. We got to see drives in his traditional fashion and even a six down the ground. We got to see his wristwork and footwork as the innings progressed. These are great signs for the Indian team. He will play the first match of the Champions Trophy after a good innings.”
