India international cricket is Kohli. The average age of Sachin Tendulkar and Rahul Dravid is 45, while that of the other players ranges from the late 30s to the early 40s.

India moved along smoothly to end the stressful chase when Kohli changed tactics after Suryakumar was dismissed. The 33-year-old was eventually sent out for 63 off only 48 deliveries, laced with three boundaries and four sixes.
