West Indies is not having some ideal time in the center. They gave out Kohli 3 chances and now he has reached his fifty. India is cruising towards posting a huge total against them in the second semifinal of the world t20.
West Indies had their chances on two back to back the ball. It was Bravo who baffled Kohli with a beautiful show ball. Kohli tried to steal a single without looking back at Ramdin who had the ball in his hands. Kohli was almost at the center of the pitch when Ramdin threw the ball towards the stumps.
The ball missed the stumps by a whisker. Bravo collected the ball and he then gave it a try and he too missed it. He was much closer to the stumps and should have hit it but he did not. Kohli both the times was no way near to the batting crease.
On the very next ball, Kohli placed the ball on the leg side and ran for a double. The second run was risky but he went for it. the throw came right near to the stumps and, this time, Ramdin made an error in collecting the ball.
He thought that the ball would hit the stumps directly so his hands were not in the ideal position. It did not hit directly but still had Ramdin taken it and crashed the stumps, Kohli was out by miles. These three chances are now paying off to West Indies in a very hard way.Kohli is hitting boundaries and in a series. West Indies bowlers will be thinking about those three chances now. They should have taken them. Even one of them would have made their jobs easy but they did not take even one.
