The right-handed batter has been in sublime form for quite sometime and he continued that during the Vijay Hazare Trophy fixture against Andhra Pradesh. Kohli had a couple of forgettable outings in Australia in the first two matches but then made a roaring comeback as he finished the tour with a good fifty.
The Indian batter then followed it up with two centuries in two matches on trot against South Africa at home and concluded the series with a quick fifty. He has now returned to feature in the domestic circuit for Delhi in the Vijay Hazare Trophy.
