Kohli took charge when Jonny Bairstow dropped his catch at first slip off Sam Curran on the second ball of the chase.
He took advantage of a spill on duck and hit four fours, including three consecutive hits, off the left-hander Curran to chase down the target in the first over.
His brilliant cover drives, flicks on the on side and hits behind the wicket sent the M.Chinnaswamy Stadium into a frenzy with chants of “Kohli, Kohli” echoing in the air.
“It's been going on for years,” Kohli said of his love affair with his fans.
“At the end of the day you don't talk about achievements, statistics or numbers but about memories.
“This is what (India coach) Rahul Dravid says. The friendship, the love, the appreciation, the support has been amazing and you will miss it and never forget.”
