1. 133 vs Sri Lanka 2012
Well what can one say about this, this is not only Kohli’s finest but one of all-time great ODI knocks. The iconic 133* at Hobart left everyone spellbound who had witnessed that epic innings under extreme pressure to steer India to victory. The equation was simple as India had to chase anything under 40 overs to stay in the CB series. The target was a steep 321 against as the Men in Blues had their backs against the wall.
In walked a young Kohli with his Nike bat and trademark attitude. What happened next was history as India chased down the target in just the 37th over. Kohli massacred Lasith Malinga, who at that time was at his peak, he ended the match with figures of 96 in just 7.4 overs. The flick after reaching the 100 against Malinga is still a shot that everyone still remembers. 133 off 86 balls in Hobart will always go down in history as one of the great knocks.
