Don't Fade Away: 5 acts of sportsmanship in T20Is that will always linger in our memory

Faulkner and Kohli’s moment of love

James Faulkner of Australia helps Virat Kohli of India to his feet after he slipped.

If you search the term ‘Kohli Faulkner’ on Youtube, all you would see if videos of the sledging between these two, with the Indian coming on top with his brilliant, “I havesmashed you enough in my life…no point [in arguing], go bowl.”

However, there is another video with little views. In that video, you will see Virat Kohli running as fast as he can, in an attempt to steal a second run, after hitting Faulkner’s ball aerially on the off-side. But, as he slid to ground his bat to complete a run, he slipped and fell.

James Faulkner then, in a kind act of sportsmanship, helped him get up—an effort which was appreciated by Kohli and gained Faulkner some brownie points among the Indian fans.
