Adelaide Oval has always been a happy hunting ground for Virat Kohli as he has consistently played some great knocks in Adelaide and he did the same in the World Cup game against Bangladesh as well.
Virat played a crucial knock of 64 runs off just 44 deliveries which included 8 fours and a mighty six.
Just after Virat’s heroic knock against Bangladesh, MS Dhoni’s 6-year-old video went viral in which the former captain had applauded Virat’s performance in the Adelaide Oval.

There’s no better combination than Virat Kohli and Adelaide Oval as the star Indian batter has made a fortress here and keeps piling runs every time he goes there making sure that the Indan Team remains victorious.
India’s legendary captain was asked about Virat’s love affair with the Adelaide Oval to which he had a hilarious response. MS Dhoni in 2016 said while replying to an anchor’s question about Virat in Adelaide, “They’ll be naming a stand after Virat Kohli in Adelaide, the way he’s scoring runs at that ground”.

MS Dhoni, in 2016, had also said that the way Virat plays in Australian grounds and scores a huge amount of runs, he might have a stand in most of the Australian grounds.
Virat was adjudged Man of the Match for his crucial knock and in the post-match conversation, Harsha Bhogle also asked him about his unbelievable record at the Adelaide Oval.
Responding to Bhogle’s question Virat said, “As soon as I knew the World Cup was in Australia, I was grinning from ear to ear. I knew good cricketing shots would be the key. I knew the kind of experience and game awareness of having played in Australia will come in handy for the team. I absolutely love playing in this ground. Right from the nets at the back, as soon as I enter, it makes me feel at home. That knock at MCG was meant to be, but when I come here, it’s like I’m meant to come to Adelaide and enjoy my batting.”
