Virat Kohli, despite losing captaincy has his DRS game spot-on! It was proven on Sunday when India faced West Indies in the first ODI at the Narendra Modi Cricket Stadium in Ahmedabad.
West Indies batsman Shamrah Brooks was at the crease facing Yuzvendra Chahal. The leggie bowled a flighted delivery that went past the bat taking the slightest of edges. Everyone appealed, but the Umpire said not out. It rested on Rohit's shoulders now to decide whether to opt for a decision review or not.
Take a look at the conversation when Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, Rishabh Pant, and others came together to discuss the matter at hand. Rohit Sharma asks Rishabh Pant if the ball struck the bat.
Pant replies saying "Nahi laga" (did not hit the bat)
Kohli walks in and and says, "100% laga tha" (It hit 100%)

Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli's bromance also has been a point of discussion in this ODI.
A clinical all-round performance for team India powered them to a 6-wicket win over West Indies in their historic 1000th One-Day-International game at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. With this win, India have taken a 1-0 lead in the three-match series. Following remarkable spells from spinners Chahal and Sundar, Rohit Sharma (60 runs off 51 balls) scored a breezy fifty to help India win the series opener.
