Many fans on social media said that watching the 73-year-old India legend celebrating like this is just 'PURE GOLD'.
Coming to the player of the match, India captain Rohit Sharma didn't bat an eyelid before declaring Virat Kohli's 82 on Sunday as not only his best but the most accomplished knock played in the country's T20 history. Kohli has had his issues with form, but his skipper didn't count himself among the Doubting Thomases, who had termed him well past his sell-by-date.
Both Kohli and Pandya are veterans of many close T20 contests, which they had pulled off under pressure at the international as well as IPL level. Kohli had pulled off a similarly incredible chase six years ago in Mohali, during a knock-out T20 World Cup game against Australia.
"Yeah, I think it has to go -- definitely his best for sure, but I think from the situation we were in, and to come out with a victory, I think it has to be one of India's best knocks, not just his best knock," Rohit told mediapersons after India's T20 World Cup win against Pakistan.
