Kohli played what he described as his most treasured T20I innings, hitting an unbeaten 82 off 53 as India recovered from 31-4 to chase 160 against Pakistan.

The innings showcased Kohli at his very best, with all his traits on display. He absorbed the pressure, making his way to 15 off 24, and by the end was doing as he wished, with one stroke in particular, a back-foot loft off Haris Rauf down the ground, standing out as a shot for the ages.

He struck another six – off a no-ball – notched a couple, and ran three byes off a free hit in the final over, bowled by Mohammad Nawaz, but could only watch as Dinesh Karthik was stumped before Ravichandran Ashwin saw India home.

The relief and emotion was clear to see, and Rohit, Kohli’s successor as India captain across formats, made no effort to hide it. He picked up Kohli in the aftermath, throwing the India legend over his shoulder in a warm embrace and spinning him round.
