Jason Holder was bowling to Virat Kohli when the Indian captain produced a spectacular shot, not one of his trademark shots, making room for himself on the off by moving towards the leg side. Meanwhile, Viv Richards, in the commentary box, couldn't help but express how big a fan he is of the shot.

The flick shot is one of the most dominant shots in Indian skipper Virat Kohli's arsenal with his wrist work often being top-notch. But the shot the took Sir Vivian Richards in awe of the Indian captain was more about making room and crafting a remarkable shot off his body arc. 

While it is known to all how big a fan the legendary Viv Richards of Kohli, he made it more evident from the commentary box in the 3rd ODI at the Port of Spain. The shot in question was timed beautifully by the Indian skipper and as a reciprocation, Sir Viv, who was in the comm box said, "I Would Have Liked to Play That Shot When I Was Playing”.

Virat Kohli took the world by storm once again as he registered his 43rd ODI hundred in the 3rd game against the Windies. Eventually, India won the game by a handsome margin of 6 wickets and the 3-match ODI series by 2-0.
