Virat Kohli has a crucial role on Day 6
Virat Kohli impressed many after he came out to bat with minutes remaining on Day 5. After Rohit Sharma fell late in the day, many expected India to send out a nightwatchman to end the proceedings.
But in an admirable show of intent, Virat Kohli himself came out to bat and did well to ensure India ended the day without losing another wicket.
