The clip brings back memories of the high-pressure clash at the Melbourne Cricket Ground on October 23, 2022. Kohli’s stunning innings helped India pull off one of the most dramatic victories in T20 World Cup history.
Pakistan posted 159/8 in their 20 overs. Shan Masood scored an unbeaten 52 off 42 balls, while Iftikhar Ahmed contributed 51 off 34 deliveries. Arshdeep Singh and Hardik Pandya took three wickets each for India.
India’s chase quickly fell apart as the team slipped to 31/4 inside seven overs. Kohli and Hardik Pandya steadied the innings with a 113-run partnership for the fifth wicket. Pandya scored 40 off 37 balls before his dismissal in the penultimate over.
With India under pressure, Kohli struck two crucial sixes off Rauf in the 19th over. The shots revived India’s chase and set up a tense final over.
India needed 16 runs from Mohammad Nawaz’s final over. The over featured a no-ball, a six, a wide and a free hit before Ravichandran Ashwin scored the winning run off the last delivery.
Kohli finished unbeaten on 82 off 53 balls, with six fours and four sixes. India chased down the target of 160 to win by four wickets.
Four years later, the video captures the emotions of that unforgettable contest.
