India cricketer Virat Kohli was the center of attraction when he got the opportunity to bowl in the match against Hong Kong in the ongoing Asia Cup 2022 on August 31st in Dubai. India was defending a formidable total of 192/2 and the opposition was nowhere near chasing it.
Kohli had been going through a rough patch and after the second game, the 33-year-old batter remains the highest run-scorer in the ongoing edition of the Asia Cup 2022. He scored a half-century, making 59* in 44 balls with one four and 3 sixes against the minnows, showing glimpses of his return to form.
The right-hander came into the spotlight when captain Rohit Sharma handed him the ball to bowl the 17th over during HK innings. Kohli conceded 6 runs in his over, as India eventually won the match by 40 runs by restricting Hong Kong to 152/5 and secured a spot in the Super Four.

The Twitterverse was not believing their eyes as Kohli had last bowled many years ago in T20Is and seeing him bowl once more, they just couldn’t keep calm and shared their reactions on Twitter.
