Team India skipper Virat Kohli has revealed that apart from the historic 2011 World Cup win under Dhoni's captaincy in Wankhede - the 2016 World T20 quarter-final game against Australia in Mohali played on March 27 - is another game in his career that he will always remember.
In 2016 WT20 tie against Oz, Virat Kohli scored crucial 82 to help team India beat Australia by 6-wickets with just five balls remaining.
"Apart from the 2011 finals, my other favourite match from the atmosphere and importance of the game point of view would be the 2016 T20 quarter-finals against Australia in Mohali," Kohli said while speaking on Star Sports 'Cricket Connected' show.
Virat Kohli believes cricket would be played with great intensity even behind closed doors amid COVID-19 pandemic. However, he said it will be difficult to have the same magical moments without fans in empty stadiums.
"It's quite a possible situation, it might happen, I honestly don't know how everyone is going to take that because we all are used to playing in front of so many passionate fans," said Kohli while speaking on Star Sports 'Cricket Connected' show.
Indian captain Virat Kohli said players would put in their best efforts even while playing behind closed doors.
"I know it will be played at a very good intensity but that feeling of the crowd connecting with the players and the tension of the game where everyone goes through it in the stadium, those emotions are very difficult to recreate," said the 31-year-old.
"Things will still go on, but I doubt that one will feel that magic happening inside because of the atmosphere that was created. We will play sports how it is supposed to be played, but those magical moments will be difficult to come by," he added.
