'Holy smokes!': Kevin Pietersen reacts to Virat Kohli's class oozing knock for India against West Indies in Hyderabad

Team India skipper Virat Kohli rained hell with his bat on Windies bowlers during India's 6-wicket win over West Indies in the first T20I in Hyderabad on Friday (December 6).

Batting first, West Indies posted a score of 207/5 after 20 over with Hetmyer played an entertaining knock of 56 runs off 41 deliveries.

On the chase, Virat Kohli played a captain's knock and remained unbeaten on 94 runs off 50 balls, guiding India to a six-wicket victory with eight balls to spare with KL Rahul chipping in a critical half-century.

After the match, Kohli took to social media and expressed his delight over India's victory and posted some photographs on Instagram.

His caption read: “Good way to start the series. Lots of positives to take from today's win.”

A lot of cricket fans were left enchanted after watching Virat dominate the field with his back, which included former England cricketer Kevin Pietersen.

The former batsman left a comment on Virat's post and expressing his delight over the Indian skipper's onfield heroics.

"Your flick this evening was quite something, bro! Holy smokes!", Kevin said.

The home side will again lock horns with the Windies on Sunday (December 8) at the Greenfield International Stadium, Thiruvananthapuram for the second T20I between the two sides.
