Virat Kohli showed his class in this game as he took on Mumbai Indians bowlers and thrashed them around the park. While the viewers were excited to see the battle between pacer Jofra Archer and Virat Kohli, the Indian batter also won this battle in a one-sided manner. Virat showed no mercy to the English pacer on his IPL comeback and boundaries rained from his bat.

In this match, Jofra Archer went wicketless while conceding 33 runs in his quota of 4 overs. Interestingly, 28 out of these 33 runs were smacked by Virat Kohli only. Before this, none of the batters had ever smacked Jofra Archer for so many runs in T20s and this is enough to make one realize the rhythm and form 'King' Kohli was in.
