Pathirana to Kohli, SIX, he's woken up now. Needed something to shake him off the rut and that short ball has done exactly that. Kohli was ready for this short ball, gets into a good position and nails the pull over fine leg. He even has a say or two for Pathirana..
10.1
Pathirana to Kohli, no run, ouch! That is rare. You don't see Kohli being hit on the helmet often. Pathirana has managed to do that.
