IND vs PAK Highlights: Virat Kohli Emotional: In 14 years of his cricketing career, Virat Kohli has lived through some dramatic sporting moments. But nothing could beat the India vs Pakistan T20 World Cup match at the MCG on Sunday. Kohli dialled back his days, pulling off a heist to chase down 160 against Pakistan. A Kohli of yesteryears would have been pumped. But on Sunday, he was emotional after the win and could not hold back his tears with 100,000 fans cheering his name. He admitted the 53-ball 82 was his best knock. Watch India vs Pakistan Highlights & ICC T20 World Cup 2022 Highlights with InsideSport.IN.

The 10-minute-long last over of Mohammad Nawaz perhaps was the longest in Kohli’s life. It had ups, and downs, and was filled with drama and emotions, worthy of a novel and of course a movie. Kohli did not score the winning runs, Ashwin did but to cross the 160-run hurdle, the former India captain had almost lived his entire life in the span of the last over.


“Till today Mohali was my best T20I innings. Today I will count this one higher. Hardik kept pushing me. The crowd has been phenomenal. You guys (fans) kept backing me and I am grateful for your support,” said Virat in a post-match presentation.

But that 53-ball 82-run knock will be etched in history books as Kohli’s best-ever in the shortest format, even better than his 6 T20 centuries. His loyal fans have stood by him at his worst phase in the last two years. He recognised that, thanking them with a beautiful post-match interview.

“It is a surreal atmosphere. I have no words, no idea how that happened. I am really lost for words. Standing here I just feel like it was meant to be. Till today Mohali was my best T20I innings. Today I will count this one higher. Hardik kept pushing me. The crowd has been phenomenal. You guys kept backing me and I am grateful for your support,” Virat Kohli said in a post-match presentation.
