5 times Virat Kohli owned the Pakistan bowling attack

#4 ICC World Twenty20 – Kolkata, 2016

Kohli reached his 14th T20 international fifty and became the second youngest player to reach 1000 T20I runs

Fast-forward to 2016. The score is 14-1 as Kohli walks out to the middle after a Rohit Sharma wicket. Pakistan notched up a below par total of 118 for the Indians and it does not look like a tough task for the hosts, in spite of the early wicket.

Suddenly, India are stranded at 23-3 as Raina departs for a first-ball duck. Kohli has hardly had any time to settle as he keeps losing partners at the other end. The seemingly easy target now seems like a mountain to climb.

Yuvraj Singh enters and Kohli finally finds a semblance of normality as the pair settle into a rhythmic partnership. Both Mohammad Amir and Mohammad Sami are running in hard, but both the players handle their attack professionally. They compile 61 runs for the fourth wicket before Singh falls for a well-played 24.

MS Dhoni finds the 27-year-old on the crease and the pair guide India to yet another win against Pakistan in World Cup tournaments. Kohli reaches his 14^th T20 international fifty and becomes the second youngest player to reach 1000 international runs in the format.
