Virat Kohli: India had trouble spots early on in their 160-run chase when they lost their captain Rohit Sharma and opener KL Rahul without having scored enough runs. India subsequently placed their hopes in Suryakumar Yadav, but he too was gunned down in the powerplay. Axar Patel was then placed in the middle before Dinesh Karthik and Hardik Pandya by the Indian management to assist Virat, but his brief stay at the crease was cut short by an unlucky run out.
Then, Virat and Hardik combined for a 113-run partnership, putting India in position to win. The pressure was on Virat to seal the victory for India with 16 required off the last over, and he didn’t fall short either. He secured an unprecedented four-wicket victory with an undefeated 82-run knock off only 53 deliveries.
The chase was made much more special for Indian fans across the world by Virat, who also set a number of records throughout his electrifying innings.
