Meanwhile, it was really a legendary knock by Kohli as he helped the team to revive after the initial batting collapse, something which he also did in the previous T20I World Cup against Pakistan. Notably, India had lost 4 wickets for 30 runs in Australia during a 180+ chase and Kohli led the team to victory in a thrilling manner with his odd 80 runs. 

Kohli also won the player of the match award as he helped the team to reach a defendable total. He also announced his retirement from the T20I format and said the next generation should take the legacy forward.

Kohli struggled at the start 

Notably, Kohli highly struggled with his batting in the early stages of the ICC T20 World Cup 2024. He moved up the order and batted as an opener with Rohit Sharma. At one stage, he got out for 1 vs Ireland, 4 vs Pakistan, and 0 vs USA in the group stage. 

Later, he came with better shows of 24, and 37, in the Super 12 round but got out for a duck against Australia in the last match. In the semi-finals too, he got out for 9 against England. However, Kohli performed in the most important match of the tournament- ICC T20 World Cup 2024, to clinch a victory for the side.
