Virat Kohli was lost for words and had “no idea” how he took India to victory in Melbourne on Sunday, but his captain, Rohit Sharma, knew what he saw.
According to Rohit, Virat’s 82 not out against Pakistan was not just his best innings, it was “one of India’s best knocks”.
“Definitely his (Virat’s) 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,” said Rohit in the post match press conference.
Here is a look at some of the Twitter reactions:
