He said that he did not say anything about that shot, but it hurt him when it was hit. He added that every cricket fan knows what sort of a player Kohli is, but he doesn’t think the Indian batter can do that again.

In the game, Pakistan set a target of 160 runs for India as Shan Masood and Iftikhar Ahmed scored a fifty each, while Arshdeep Singh and Hardik Pandya were clinical in picking three wickets each. Chasing the total, India began the inning with 31 for 4 while Virat Kohli and Hardik Pandya stood tall.
The game was out of India’s hands as the equation said, ’48 needed off the last three overs’. It was the time when Kohli changed gears and hit 17 runs in an over to Shaheen Shah Afridi, and also completed his half-century. In the 19th over, he hit two consecutive sixes to Rauf, which will be remembered by every Indian cricket fan. With Hardik’s wicket in the last over, it was the no-ball six by Kohli that led the stage for a chasing masterclass as Ashwin scored the winning run.
