During the 24.3rd over, Kohli, in an attempt to widen the delivery, enticed Scott Edwards into a leg-side glance. Though not an expressly wicket-taking delivery, Edwards found himself strangled down the leg side, granting Kohli an unexpected wicket.
The Chinnaswamy crowd erupted in joy, mirroring the elation captured in Anushka Sharma's reaction, which resonated with fans across the stadium.
In fact, Anushka Sharma's reaction holds even greater significance, considering that just a few days ago, on Kohli's 35th birthday she shared a post highlighting the batter's bowling skills as part of her wishes to the cricketer.
As of the current update, the Netherlands, having faced 30 overs, accumulated 136 runs at the expense of four wickets. India, opting to bat first, displayed a formidable performance, amassing 410 runs while losing four wickets.
The match witnessed a spectacular run-fest, featuring half-centuries from Rohit Sharma, Shubman Gill, and Virat Kohli, followed by a century masterclass from Shreyas Iyer and KL Rahul, solidifying India's imposing total against the Netherlands in Match 45.
