After losing the series opener in Visakhapatnam, Team India is looking forward to drawing the series in the final match at the M Chinnaswamy stadium in Bangalore against Australia. After winning the toss again, the Australian skipper, Aaron Finch decided to bowl first again with no changes in the squad. On the other hand, the Indian skipper, Virat Kohli revealed that the men in blue have made three changes as Rohit Sharma, Mayank Markande, and Umesh Yadav made way for Shikhar Dhawan, Vijay Shankar, and Siddharth Kaul.

Nathan Coulter-Nile bowling to Virat Kohli

India had a rough start as they reeling at 99/3 after the end of 14 over with Kohli and MS Dhoni at a strike then came the blistering form of Kohli as he smashed a hat-trick of sixes in the 16th over bowled by Nathan Coulter-Nile, who was named as man of the match in the last game.

On the third ball of the over, Kohli showed the power of his wrists. It was a slower delivery on the good length and the batsman smacked it over the mid-wicket boundary with a help of the flock shot with immense ease.  On the very next ball, he smashed another six as the ball was on the similar length but a wider this time and Kohli got to free his arms only to deposit the ball over the extra-cover boundary.

The bowler was in immense pressure after those humungous sixes and Virat made the full use of it on the penultimate ball of the over as he came a couple of steps down the pitch to the off-stump length ball and he brings his wrists into play once more to whip it high over the forward square leg boundary for a huge six and completed the hat-trick.

Here is the video of the sixes:

Team India reached a total of 190/4 in their quota of 20 overs with Kohli scoring 72 off just 38 balls.
