Team India superstar Virat Kohli stormed back to form at the Asia Cup 2022 in August after which he has had a great run with the bat. In the T20 World Cup 2022, he finished as the leading run-scorer with 296 runs from 5 matches that also included four fifties. His best was the unbeaten 82 he scored in the first match against Pakistan in the opening clash of the tournament. That knock was hailed by the fans the world over as it was the first time in ages that Kohli chased down a target for India from an impossible situation. That six of Haris Rauf in the 19th over also stood out, which is talked about even today.
