Team India may not have had a good T20 World Cup campaign last year, but one match that fans and former cricketers alike remember fondly is the team’s opener against Pakistan.

Virat Kohli had a magnificent evening at the legendary Melbourne Cricket Ground, leading India to victory on the final ball of the match.

Kohli was undefeated on 82 from 53 balls as he led the side to a successful 160-run chase at the MCG.

The straight six Kohli hit on a length delivery over the bowler’s head at one point in his innings surprised everyone, including Haris Rauf, and it is still talked about today.

In the game’s 19th over, Kohli opened room for himself by moving across the wicket and taking the ball away for a huge six, shocking both Haris and Pakistan captain Babar Azam.

” Virat Kohli’s timing was perfect and it went for a six”: Haris Rauf

Haris recently discussed the shot while appearing on Pakistan’s well-known program “Hasna Mana Hai.” Rauf responded that the shot “hurt” him when a supporter inquired about his initial reaction to the shot.

“Of course, it hurt when that went for a six. I didn’t say anything but it hurt me personally. I thought something wrong had happened, “ Haris Rauf said.

“Anyone who knows cricket knows what sort of a player he is. He has played that shot now, I don’t think he can do that again. Such shots are quite rare, you can’t hit them again and again. His timing was perfect and it went for a six,” Rauf said.

With a match-winning effort of 82 runs in 53 balls, featuring 6 fours and 4 sixes, Virat Kohli saved India from defeat against Pakistan. Kohli smashed two stunning sixes to Harris Rauf to help India win the game when they needed 28 runs in the final 8 balls.
