The hour has come, and the man has arrived! Virat Kohli delivered one of the greatest innings of his illustrious career.

The 33-year-old smacked two outrageous sixes against Haris Rauf on the last two balls of the penultimate over to keep India in the game, while Mohammad Nawaz faltered in the final over. He took two wickets but completely lost control on a couple of no-ball and wide deliveries. Ravichandran Ashwin hit the game-winning runs for India.
