New Delhi: Indian captain Virat Kohli hit a stunning straight drive against Adam Milne in the ICC Champions Trophy 2017 warm-up match against New Zealand at the Kennington Oval, London on Sunday.
Coming in to bat after the fall of opener Ajinkya Rahane, Kohli started slowly but was at his best when he played that magical shot in the ninth over.
Kiwi pacer Milne pitched up the last ball of the over on the stumps. But what Kohli needed was just a put the bat on the ball. And the result a four, even though Milne got a faint touch on it on his follow through.
