T20 World Cup: Hardik Pandya Hails Virat Kohli, Says Don't Think Anyone Could've Played Those Two Sixes
support@india.com (India.com News Desk) - 2h ago
Melbourne: From Virat Kohli's chasing masterclass of an astonishing 82 not out off 53 balls to leading India to an incredible four-wicket win in their thrilling Super 12 opener against Pakistan at MCG on Sunday, there were two enthralling moments in an epic clash which will be spoken about for ages to come.
With Hardik Pandya being kept in check by the Pakistan pacers during their match-winning stand of 113 off 77 deliveries which had lifted India out of trouble from 31/4, Kohli had to turn the situation around all by himself and he did it by smacking back-to-back sixes off Haris Rauf in the 19th over.
On the fifth ball of the penultimate over, Kohli smashed a slower, short of length ball from Rauf by unleashing an unbelievable straight loft down the ground, over the bowler's head, which left fans all over the world in frenzy.
He then ended the over by using the pace of the ball to flick off his wrists over fine leg -- to make it 16 runs needed off the final over, which was completed on the last ball of the innings.
"Those two shots -- because I knew how important those two shots were. Let's be honest, even if you (looking at Kohli) had missed one, still they were running ahead of us. I was there very closely and I've hit a lot of sixes, but those are special, special, and really special in my heart now because of what (it) meant for both of us. We were so pumped. I told him, I've played cricket, so much cricket, but I don't think anyone could've played those two shots (sixes off Haris Rauf) except Kohli," said Pandya to Kohli in a video on the BCCI website after the match ended.
