However, the Pune crowd was excited to see Virat Kohli being called to bowl the remaining three balls of Pandya's over. Kohli ran up to bowl his brand of medium pace to Litton Das amidst chants of "Viratâ¦Virat." Kohli bowled a fuller length delivery which Das played defensively. He conceded only two runs in his next two balls to finish Over No. 9 for India. "Well bowled, Kohli," the spectators exclaimed.
