Virat Kohli (55* v Pakistan, 2016 T20 World Cup)

In terms of single-handed glory, we need not look too far back from the special Kohli innings recently in the T20 2016 World Cup against India. Playing at Eden Gardens, where the ball was turning square and where India were pushed back to the wall at 23 for three chasing 118, Kohli showed the mettle within him.

Giving the impression of someone who was playing on a completely different surface compared to the other batsmen, Kohli scored at a strike-rate of 148. His 55 off 37 balls included 7 fours and a six, an innings during which he broke the record for most T20I half-centuries moving to fourteen. The win was responsible to keep India alive after they had lost their previous encounter to New Zealand.
