Pakistan unleashed its pace bowling. 4 wickets fall down for 31 We were playing with only 6 proper batters including Hardik Pandya. Pakistan was on top

The straight six off Haris Rauf. And the following six over fine-leg. How can you not fall in love with the craft of batting when the king is displaying this range? How?

The last 3 years haven't been easy despite the recent century against Afghanistan. No more the Indian captain, kohli didn't see the best of form and was written off by many. But the king showed today what legends and big-match players are made of

Here’s why Kohli's 82*(53) at the MCG will always be special. It's a crowd of 90000-odd in Melbourne. It's billions of eyes across the globe. And then the worst start to india’s batting.

Pakistan unleashed its pace bowling. 4 wickets fall down for 31 We were playing with only 6 proper batters including Hardik Pandya. Pakistan was on top

The required run rate turned into a mountain With time, our king didn't panic. He was 15 of his first 23 balls Ended up scoring 59 of his next 30 Words aren't enough to describe the audacity

The straight six off Haris Rauf. And the following six over fine-leg. How can you not fall in love with the craft of batting when the king is displaying this range? How?
