NEW DELHI: India got their 2022 T20 World Cup campaign off to an exhilarating start, beating arch rivals Pakistan by four wickets in a nerve-wracking contest at the iconic Melbourne Cricket Ground on Sunday. The Men in Blue gave the country a special Diwali gift on the eve of the festival, with Rohit Sharma and co. clinching a nail-biting thriller courtesy a chasing masterclass from Virat Kohli, who rolled back the years and once again showed why he is considered to be the best chase-master in limited overs cricket.
In pursuit of a tricky 160 target, India crossed the finish line off the final ball of the match which saw King Kohli at his absolute best, knocking an unbeaten 82 off 53 balls. It's a knock that Virat has called the best of his T20I career.
