5 times Virat Kohli owned the Pakistan bowling attack

#3 Asia Cup – Mirpur, 2016

He scored 49 from 51 balls before getting dismissed

The ability of the world best chasers is tested in matches with slow pitches and low targets, where the match can swing at any step of the second innings. Pakistan was batting first yet again, and they crumbled like nine pins yet again. This time, all they could manage was an 83/10 in 17.3 overs.

Kohli walks out on the pitch at the score of 0 for the loss of one wicket. What followed after can unarguably be considered to be the most sorted, controlled and resilient T20 knock from the willow of Virat Kohli. He anchored the innings, helped India writhe to the target with a total of 85/5 and scored almost 58% of those runs.

He scored 49 from 51 balls before getting dismissed, at a strike rate that was pretty fast considering the fact that both the Mohammads (Amir and Sami) bowled at a combined economy of 4.25. The fact that he hit seven out of ten boundaries scored by India further indicates the one-man show on display that evening.

He also contributed in the field when he effected the run-out of Khurram Manzoor in the first innings.
