Once the King starts, he doesn’t stops. In the 13th over, he scored a four on Afridi’s ball. In the 15th over by Naseem Shah.

He then hit two more boundaries off him.
Now came the 19th over and the run rate was going out of control continuosly. Virat Kohli hit two consecutive sixes off the Haris Rauf’s over.
