His splendid pursuit played a pivotal role as India emerged victorious, clinching the match on the final delivery. The exceptional innings delivered by him turned the tide in India’s favor.
Reflecting on this memorable match, former Indian batter Mohammad Kaiffondly recalled the authoritative innings played by Kohli.He asserted that the Pakistani fast bowlers are bound to experience significant pressure when tasked with bowling to Kohli.

“Kohli’s performance in Australia at the T20 World Cup, against Pakistan, he played magnificently. And he is a brilliant batsman when it comes to playing against Pakistan. He takes full responsibility and is a chase master,” Kaif said on Star Sports.

The form that he had in that World Cup was because of his performances in the Asia Cup (2022), starting from that century he hit against Afghanistan,” he added.
The match-winning knock of 82* runs in 53 deliveries played by Kohli at the iconic Melbourne Cricket Ground was surely one of his most grinding ones. He himself rates it as his best inning in T20Is.
