Tasked with chasing a formidable 411-run target, the Netherlands batsmen struggled, leading India’s captain, Rohit Sharma, to enlist Kohli’s medium-pace bowling. In a pivotal moment, Kohli secured his first one-day international wicket in nine years by dismissing Dutch captain Scott Edwards, showcasing his versatility on the field.
This marked a significant milestone in Kohli’s career, as it was only his fifth career ODI wicket and the first since 2014. The unexpected bowling stint was triggered by the injury-enforced departure of all-rounder Hardik Pandya against Bangladesh.

Kohli’s exceptional performance underscored his ability to impact the game across multiple facets, adding a new dimension to his cricketing legacy and demonstrating his resilience and adaptability on the global stage.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
