Fans on Twitter heaped rich praise on Indian batter Virat Kohli for his sensational knock in the match against Pakistan in the T20 World Cup 2022. Hailing him as a King, they said that everyone should bow down to him as has played a knock for ages.
Virat Kohli takes India home with his unbeaten 82-run knock against Pakistan
In what a nail-bitter, it was Virat Kohli who set the stage on fire and bagged the game for his side on his own. It was an exhibition of high-class batting by him as he sealed the match from the jaws of defeat to help his side begin their campaign on high.
Chasing the target of 160 runs, India was tumbling at 31/4 and not many would’ve given them the chance. But it was Virat Kohli who rose on the occasion and held the one end. He was pretty cautious at the start and kept ticking the scorecard slowly.
But once India came under pressure, he took bowlers to the cleaners and kept the run rate in check. In the process, he got his half-century. With the job still left undone, Kohli smashed Shaheen Afridi for 17 runs in the 18th over and followed it with a 15-run over off Haris Rauf in the 19th over.
Kohli remained unbeaten on 82 runs and took his side home. His knock was lacked by 6 fours and 4 sixes as he played with a strike rate of 154.27 to play one of the finest innings.
Twitterati was in awe as Virat Kohli played a magnificent knock in the game against Pakistan
As Virat Kohli played a match-winning knock of 82 runs, fans on Twitter lavished raise praise on him. They feel that it was his best knock in the T20Is and hailed him as King. Here are some of the reactions:
