#4 59 off 45 - Providence, 2019
In another clinical run chase, Virat Kohli stabilized the ship for India after the loss of an early wicket. Chasing 147 at Providence, India were in a spot of bother at 27/2 after five overs when Rishabh Pant joined his skipper in the middle.
Kohli calmly played second fiddle to Pant before switching gears with ease. The two players registered their half-centuries, with Kohli reaching the landmark in 37 deliveries.
The duo notched up a 106-run stand of 77 deliveries to help India complete a clean sweep in the three-match T20 series. While the Indian captain wasn't there until the end, he supremely played himself in during a scratchy run of form to help his side over the line.
#5 54 off 41 - ICC T20 World Cup 2014, Mirpur
Quite similar to the 2016 T20 World Cup, Virat Kohli was demolishing opposition bowling attacks in the previous edition as well. He ended the tournament with 319 runs to his name at a strike rate of 130.
In a tricky group stage encounter against the West Indies in Mirpur, India were in a comfortable position courtesy of their bowlers. Chasing a mere 130 on a slow abrasive, they were in a spot of bother at 1 for 1.
Virat Kohli walked in with his usual iron-clad confidence to steady the ship for India. He stitched together a 100-run stand alongside Rohit Sharma. The Delhi batter went through another efficient run-chase, scoring 54 off 41 deliveries. While he couldn't finish it off for his side, he stabilising knock ensured that India got over the line with no hiccups.
