IND vs BAN: 14 runs off 1 ball - Virat Kohli punishes indisciplined Bangladesh bowler to achieve impossible feat

IND vs BAN: Former India captain Virat Kohli achieved an impossible feat by helping India collect 14 runs off just one delivery! Yes, you read it right. The incident happened in the 13th over of the match in Pune.

Just as Virat Kohli took strike to bat after the departure of Rohit Sharma on the fourth ball of the 13th over, Hasan Mahmud bowled a no ball as the star batter ran a double to begin with. On the Free Hit delivery, Virat Kohli scored a boundary but unfortunately that also turned out to be a no ball.

Virat Kohli hammered the second Free Hit for a six, scoring 12 runs off the bat on a single legal delivery and 14 after adding the two runs coming from the two no balls.

The 35-year-old batter went on to score his 48th hundred in the match. He played each of the final 19 deliveries of the India innings to reach his hundred with a six which also sealed India's seven-wicket win over Bangladesh.

India needed just two runs to win when Kohli, who was three short of his hundred, smoked a six to finish at 103 unbeaten runs off 87 balls. He hit four people and four sixes.

India chased down the 257-run target against Bangladesh with seven wickets and 51 balls remaining. India have now won each of their first four matches. They will face New Zealand on Sunday in Dharamsala.
