Former India captain Virat Kohli has called his match-winning knock against Pakistan his best ever T20I innings as India beat Pakistan by 4 wickets at the Melbourne Cricket Ground. The 33-year-old smashed 82 runs off 53 balls to guide India to a hard-fought win over rivals Pakistan in the Super-12 stage of the T20 World Cup.
“Till today, Mohali was my best innings against Australia. Today I will count this one higher,” said Kohli.
The former India skipper said he’s lost for words and thanked the fans for creating a surreal atmosphere.
“Well, it’s a surreal atmosphere. I honestly have no words. I have no idea how that happened. Hardik kept telling me, just believe we can stay till the end. I’m lost for words. Well, I think when Shaheen bowled from the Pavilion end, I told Hardik we have to take him down. The calculation was simple. Nawaz had one over to bowl, so if I could take Haris down, they would panic. It came down to 16 off 6. I’m kind of lost for words,” Kohli added.
