India need just a tick over eight runs an over. There is a hush around the Sydney Cricket Ground and the Indian fans start to get nervous. India have just lost both their openers in the space of eight balls. The target of 165 starts to look like a bit of the mountain, but in the middle is Virat Kohli.
Kohli remains calm
For the next few overs, the crowd of 37,339 are on the edge of their seats. Kohli remains calm as he pushes and nudges the ball into the outfield. There is rarely a shot in anger, but the control of his willow is sublime. Many players tend to attempt a big shot in such scenarios, but this is Kohli in the zone, a run chase, in front a crowd chanting his name and against an opposition that he loves to thrive against.
