'If DK or Pandya Would’ve Hit Those Sixes.....I Would’ve Been' - Haris Rauf Recalls Those Sixes During Ind-Pak T20 World Cup Clash

Kohli played an outstanding inning of 82 from 53 balls and smacked two sixes in the 19th over against Rauf.

New Delhi: In the recently passed T20 World Cup 2022, India’s ace batter Virat Kohli smashed consecutive sixes off Haris Rauf during the India vs Pakistan clash. That moment is considered as an iconic moment in the game of cricket. When India were chasing the total, Kohli played an outstanding inning of 82 from 53 balls and smacked two sixes in the 19th over against Rauf. That one six that he smashed over Raul’s head is considered the greatest single  T20 shot of all time” by the ICC.

Haris Rauf spoke about that moment and said, “The way he played in the World Cup, that is his class, we all know the types of shots he plays.

“And the way he hit those sixes, I don’t think any other player can hit a shot like that off my bowling. If Dinesh Karthik or Hardik Pandya would’ve hit those sixes, I would’ve been hurting but those came off Kohli’s bat and he is a different class altogether,” Rauf said while talking to Cricwick.

“The idea was to bowl a slower one on that back-of-a-length zone since the boundary was larger on the square side. I had no idea that he can hit me down the ground off that length. So when he hit that shot off me, that’s his class. My plan and execution was fine but that shot was all class,” he added.

Kohli’s half-century helped India beat Pakistan by four wickets. He built a 113-run partnership with Hardik Pandya who also contributed by scoring 40 runs and helped  India chase down a target of 160.
