India’s batting star Virat Kohli has placed more importance on having the ability to add new strokes as a batter rather than the technique. The 35-year-old himself displayed the ability to come up with special shots when he smashed Pakistan pacer Haris Rauf for back-to-back sixes in the T20I World Cup last year.

One was a straight six off a length ball, dubbed as the shot of the century, which Kohli himself could not explain post the game, and the other was a pick-up shot over fine leg. Kohli relived that Haris Rauf over and the match-winning 82 not out off 53 balls.
