The Indian cricket team was unable to win the Twenty20 World Cup in 2022 since England defeated them in the semi-final by a score of 10 wickets.
The team captained by Rohit Sharma had a fantastic run throughout the entire competition, as they were victorious in four of their five Super-12 stage matches. After claiming a victory by four wickets against their fiercest rivals Pakistan, India got off to a strong start in their competition.
The match ended up being a thrilling nail-biter as Team India’s score dropped to 31/4 while they were attempting to chase 160. Virat Kohli came to the rescue of the team by scoring 82 runs not out off of 53 balls and leading India to victory with a nail-biting finish.
During the chase, Kohli hit two consecutive sixes off Haris Rauf on the last two balls of the 19th over. These sixes occurred during the same over.
The first six, which came after Kohli played a shot straight down the ground, became the talk of the town as the crowd and several former cricketers complimented the India batsman for his skill. The six came after Kohli hit a drive straight down the field.
However, on an episode of the popular Pakistani show ‘Hasna Mana Hai,’ the pacer Haris Rauf responded to a question from a viewer about that six by saying that such strokes are a rare event in cricket and that the India batter won’t be able to play that shot again.
“Naturally, it was a blow to the feelings when that got a six. I remained silent, but the impact it had on me was significant. I was concerned that something terrible had taken place.
Anyone who is familiar with cricket is aware of the type of player that he is. He has already taken that shot, and I seriously doubt that he will be able to take it again.
These kinds of shots don’t come around very often, and you can’t hit them again and again. His timing was spot on, and the ball went straight for the six, “added Rauf.
Regarding Kohli, the batter, who is 34 years old, was given a day off during Team India’s just completed Twenty20 International series against Sri Lanka at home. The Indians won the series 2-1 on Saturday.
Kohli, along with Rohit Sharma, who will serve as the team’s captain, will make their return to action when the three-match series against Sri Lanka begins on January 10.
