Reliving the 5 greatest Indian T20 Innings of all time

#2 Virat Kohli 82* vs Australia at Mohali, 2016

Kohli sensationally destroyed Australia

India hosted the 2016 edition of the ICC World T20 and were overwhelming favourites to go all the way. However, a defeat to New Zealand in their first game threw a spanner in the works. By the time their Aussie test came up, they were faced with a must-win situation.

Australia set India a target of 161 on a slightly sluggish Mohali wicket. Australia started well and contained India to 37-2 in the Powerplay. However, that was the only bit of joy the Aussies received that day.

Kohli came and conquered the Aussie attack en route to a marvellous 82* off 51 balls. Kohli struck 9 fours and 2 sixes in his excellent display of skill and determination. Just like he did against the Proteas a couple of years ago, he again relied on running between the wickets to throw the Australian bowling and fielding out of gear.

Kohli was simply magnificent on the day and came up with a performance when the team needed him most. His inning of 82 gets the No.2 slot for the sheer brilliance exhibited by the best batsman in the world.
