Sunday evening will go down in history as a thrilling win for Team India over archrivals Pakistan in the Super-12 match of the ongoing T20 World Cup at Melbourne Cricket Ground. With India on the verge of losing the game, Virat Kohli shone like a star, slamming 82 not out off 53 deliveries to help his team win the nail-biting game. India were 31 for 4 at one point in their chase of 160 runs, but Kohli's knock helped them win by four wickets. After the game, fans couldn't keep their emotions in check and celebrated Kohli's brilliant knock on Twitter.
Pakistan battled back from a shaky start to post a fighting 159 for eight. India finished the chase in the final ball, with Kohli and Hardik Pandya (40) scoring the majority of the runs after a poor start to their innings.
After falling to 31/4 at one point, the two revived India with a 113-run fourth-wicket stand.
As soon as India won, the social media platform Twitter was inundated with congratulatory messages for 'King' Kohli.
.@imVkohli, it was undoubtedly the best innings of your life. It was a treat to watch you play, the six off the back foot in the 19th over against Rauf over long on was spectacular! ?
