Virat Kohli’s successful run chase

In fact, India’s record while chasing big scores in the T20 World Cup is not very good. In the 19-year history of this tournament, the Indian team had successfully chased the score of more than 150 runs only three times and all three times Virat Kohli was the star of the victory. First of all, in 2014, India got the target of 173 runs against South Africa, which India achieved in 19.1 overs. Kohli had scored unbeaten 72 runs.

Then in the World Cup 2016, against Australia, Team India also achieved the target of 161 runs in 19.1 overs. This time also Kohli had scored unbeaten 82 runs. For the third time in the T20 World Cup 2022, the Indian team had achieved the target of 160 runs in exactly 20 overs against Pakistan. In this match, Kohli played a memorable inning of 82 unbeaten runs. Virat Kohli was chosen Player of the Match on all three occasions.

Team India made a splash

In Ahmedabad, South Africa made a huge score of 187 runs with India, which was not easy for any player to break. But Team India’s top order lost 3 wickets in the power play just for hitting big shots indiscriminately and after that, by the 10th over, half of the Indian team had returned to the pavilion and Team India’s score was only 51 runs. On such occasions, fans were seen missing Virat Kohli a lot in front of the TV on the field.
