[Above: The Dumbstruck Malinga]
It is absolutely true to say what Kohli did to Malinga's six deliveries was not humane in any sense at all. Scoring whopping twenty four runs in that over, Kohli made sure that India gains a bonus point and hence a sneaky chance into the finals and that was only possible if India sodomized Sri Lanks like there was no tomorrow,of course sodomy being a euphemism.
So, the little story, with no structure whatsoever, starts this way. As I was getting impatient and antagonized by India's very ordinary bowling performance and my irritating migraine, I went to bed early, early being after midnight, with a thought of waking at three to watch India bat. And at three, I see a disheartening target of 321 for India. And for a bonus point and a chance to sneak into the finals, India needed to achieve the target within forty overs, which is unheard of in limited version of international cricket. But tonight was not the night for another embarrassment. Tonight India slaughters and obliterates. What many would call one of the greatest one day innings, Kohli, after a healthy start from the team, scored 133 at an absurdly high strike rate.
It doesn't matter if India goes to finals or not, they will go home happier than they thought. And today, to all the Americans who associate the name world series with a game that is not played beyond North America, we say this is exactly why India are the world champions. India catches up with the train that left the platform an hour ago.
