In their high-profile T20 World Cup match on Sunday, Virat Kohli batted magnificently for India, scoring 82 runs off only 53 balls to lead India to a thrilling four-wicket victory over archrivals Pakistan.


Pakistan scored a valiant 159 for eight after a tough start. After a difficult start to their innings, Kohli and Hardik Pandya (40), who together scored the majority of the runs, helped India complete the chase in the final ball.


India recovered from being in trouble at 31/4 at one point because to the two's 113-run fourth-wicket stand.


On the night of Diwali, the Men in Blue gave the nation a wonderful gift by winning a nail-biting thriller thanks to a chasing masterclass from Virat Kohli, who turned back the clock and once again demonstrated why he is regarded as the best chaser in limited overs cricket.


Their bowlers did a good job, according to Babar Azam, but Kohli and Pandya really stole the show. It was difficult for them to swing the bat there, but they developed a partnership, and the game went smoothly. He instructed the boys to follow the plans, but again, credit goes to Kohli. He likely used his primary bowlers early since he was looking for wickets. There are a lot of advantages to this game, adds.


As soon as India had fully achieved victory, the social networking site Twitter began to overflow with congratulations for "King" Kohli.
