Team India ace batter Virat Kohli recorded a glorious six off Nandre Burger's bowling in the first powerplay of the ODI series opener against South Africa at the JSCA International Stadium in Ranchi on Sunday, November 30. The right-handed batter was at his dominating best after coming into bat early in the innings. Virat Kohli had to step out as early as the fourth over after Yashasvi Jaiswal nicked one off to the wicket-keeper after a promising start. The No.3 batter got off to a mark with a streaky boundary, but looked at his assured best after that. He struck a sublime drive straight down the ground soon after to showcase his supreme touch, and cranked things further with successive boundaries in the eighth over. During the penultimate delivery, he faced a full-length delivery by the left-arm pacer, which he dispatched by smashing through the line with minimal footwork and getting it well over the long-off boundary. Skipper Aiden Markram had placed a silly mid-off as well as a mid-off to get into the batter's mind, but Kohli was able to get height as well as distance without any difficulty. Have a look at the stunning six right here: This marked Kohli's first six after eight ODIs as he went through the 2025 Champions Trophy campaign and the Australia tour without hitting a single maximum. Virat Kohli has a stellar record in Ranchi, having scored 384 runs in just four matches at an average of 192 and a strike rate of 109.40. He has managed to cross the fifty-run mark in three of those four outings, which includes two hundreds.
