Kohli, for once, couldn't seal a run chase for India

Virat Kohli showed signs of his mortality by failing to seal off a run chase for once as India succumbed in the second T20I. A master of pacing run chases, Kohli was left high and dry by his teammates who refused to co-operate and give him enough support.

If Shreyas Iyer flashed at one too many, MS Dhoni was conservative and the pressure eventually compounded on the Indian skipper, who managed to go past the landmark of 7000 T20 runs. With India well out of the game, Kohli was caught behind off Mitchell Santner, but not before he had completed yet another T20 half-century.
