Chasing a 160-run target, India were reduced to 31 for four by Pakistan seamers Naseem Shah and Haris Rauf before Kohli and Hardik Pandya forged a 113-run partnership. The chase was however progressively slipping off India’s grasp as the side required 48 from the last three overs. The equation boiled down to 28 off two deliveries before Kohli launched an other-wordly straight pull off Rauf for a six and backed it up with a flick over backward square for another maximum. Indian then scraped through off the final delivery as Kohli finished unbeaten on 82 off 53 deliveries.
Kohli’s unbeaten 82-run knock at MCG was recently voted as the greatest knock in the history of the T20 World Cup in an ICC poll. (AP)
