Virat Kohli’s unbeaten 82 runs against Pakistan take India home 

Virat Kohli was the main architect behind India’s thrilling win over Pakistan in their opening game of the T20 World Cup 2022. The right-hander set the stage on fire and sealed the game for his side from the jaws of defeat.

Virat pulled one of the most incredible chase in the history of cricket as he batted sensationally well to help his team win. He played staggering innings of unbeaten 82. While the number seems impressive on the board, only those who closely followed the match would’ve known the kind of grit and determination, he put in.

Chasing the target of 160 runs, India was left tottering at 31/4 and it’s fair to say that they couldn’t win at that stage. However, with Virat Kohli still at the crease, Indian hopes were still there and he didn’t disappoint.

Kohli held the one end and along with Hardik Pandya, he slowly kept ticking the scorecard. With the pressure of run rate on, he looked unfazed and took calculated risks. But when things got heated up, he took bowlers to the cleaners and put Pakistan under pressure and eventually sealed the game for his side.

One of the main highlights of his innings was the two sixes he hit against Haris Rauf in the penultimate over. With 28 runs needed off the 8 balls, Kohli tanked the pacer over the long on and then guided the ball towards the fine leg region to hit two consecutive sixes.
