Australia vs India 2018: 5 unnoticed records from the T20I series

#3 Kohli scored his first T20 international fifty of 2018

Kohli promoted himself to bat at No. 3 during the Sydney match and remained not out, scored 61 runs and won the match for India, which helped to level the series 1-1

Virat Kohli has been in red-hot form in Tests and ODIs and is the leading run scorer in international cricket in 2018, though he played only a few T20 matches.

He was rested from the Indian squad for the Nidahas trophy, Asia Cup and the home T20 matches against Windies.

He returned to the squad for the Australian T20 matches. Having batted at No. 4 for most of the T20 matches this year, Kohli failed to perform well during the first match.

But he promoted himself to bat at No. 3 during the Sydney match and remained not out, scored 61 runs and won the match for India, which helped to level the series 1-1.

Incidentally, this was the first T20 fifty for Kohli in 2018 and with this knock, the Indian captain has scored the most fifties in T20 Internationals with a total of 19.

And his average stands tall at 49.25 in T20Is the only format where his international average is less than 50. And it won't take much time before it crosses 50.
