Virat Kohli's top 5 innings in 2017

#1 122 vs England at Pune

Virat Kohli came into this series with added responsibilities as he became the captain across all the formats. India won the toss and chose to bowl first, in a day-night match at MCA stadium, Pune.

England started their innings first and posted a mammoth total of 350-7 in 50 overs, behind Jason Roy's 73(61), Joe Root's 78(95) and Ben Stoke's 62(40). For India, it was Hardik Pandya who was economical with 2/46 in the 9 overs that he has bowled.

India who then came to bat chasing the big total lost early wickets and were left reeling at 63-4. It was then that the local boy Kedhar Jadhav stitched together along with Virat Kohli, a partnership of 200 runs to take India over the winning line. Though it was Jadhav who attracted the spectators' eyes with meaty blows all around the park and was rightly adjudged the man of the match, it was Virat Kohli who played the supporting role that instilled confidence in Kedhar Jadhav.

The captain for once took back seat and watched the other guy hit while he played the second fiddle to Jadhav. Their partnership single-handedly took the game away from the visitors.
