Watch: Virat Kohli Slams 1st Ball From Jasprit Bumrah For Six. West Indies Great Says "No Respect"
Virat Kohli continues to rule the cricketing world. The star India batter achieved a massive milestone on Monday. He became the first-ever India batter and fifth overall in cricket history to reach the milestone of 13000 T20 runs. En route to the feat, Royal Challengers Bengaluru's Kohli smashed Mumbai Indians' ace pacer Jasprit Bumrah for a wonderful six. The right-arm pacer was returning back from an injury break and he was welcomed by Kohli with a terrific biggie. Devdutt Padikkal took a single on the first ball of Bumrah before Kohli slammed the bowler for a superb six over the deep mid-wicket. "No respect. Batters just looking to dominate the powerplay, irrespective of the bowler," said former West Indies player Ian Bishop on-air. Bumrah had come in to bowl the 4th over of the RCB innings.

"We are gonna bowl first. This looks like a good track, dew might come in later. When the wicket is cool, it stays good. When dew comes, it gets better. It always plays well for both teams. It's time for us to get some rhythm, get some good cricket behind us, take the smarter options and do the right things. We are playing
