India vs Pakistan: The Indian cricket team found themselves staring at defeat when former skipper Virat Kohli came out of nowhere to play a magical and iconic unbeaten 82-run knock to power the Men in Blue to 4-wicket win over Pakistan at MCG on Sunday. After a poor start to its 260 chase, team India were left in tatters at 31 for 4 when Kohli and Pandya batted cautiously for the next few overs without losing wicket. Hardik (40 runs off 37 balls) and Kohli paced the Indian innings smoothly. The duo struck a crucial partnership of 113. Virat's ability and will-power to win matches faced intense scrutiny due to a prolonged lean patch in international cricket. He returned to form in Asia Cup 2022 but his 'blockbuster innings' tonight on the grandest stage sang the perfect redemption song.
Fans all over the world witnessed raw emotions on field after Ind vs Pak match got over. MCG, which was packed with 90,000 die-hard cricket fans erupted in joy and 'Chak de India' reverberated around the stadium. An emotional Virat Kohli broke down in tears as his captain Rohit Sharma lifted him up, thanking him in a way for restoring India's supremacy at the grandest stage.
