The spotlight is on India captain Virat Kohli as he looks to put the failure of his last Test tour of England behind him. He took his first steps towards that goal by putting in a fine batting performance in the three-match T20 series which the men in blue won in Bristol on Sunday.

Kohli scored 20 not out, 47 and 43 to help India beat England and his last knock was particularly impressive as it helped India chase down 199.

One shot during his 29-ball 43 stood out for its audacity and artistry. Facing pacer Liam Plunkett in the 14th over of the chase, Kohli went inside-out over extra cover to deposit the pacer over the boundary ropes with a flourish reminiscent of MS Dhoni’s ‘helicopter shot’.

That shot from Kohli brought the hashtag ‘Kohlicopter’ back on the social media radar. The term originally became prominent in 2014.

Watch Kohli’s shot below and compare it to MS Dhoni’s ‘helicopter’ shot.
