Virat Kohli, on this day in 2016, played what is considered to be one of the best innings in T20 cricket, in the ICC World Cup 2016 against Australia. Chasing 161 to win, India were left reeling at 49/3 at one stage but Virat Kohli kept the hopes alive, forming partnerships with Yuvraj Singh and later, an undefeated 67-run stand with MS Dhoni that took the Men in Blue past the finish line. Virat Kohli played some spectacular shots on both sides of the wicket and not just that but also rotated strike brilliantly with MS Dhoni at the other end. He helped India chase down the score in 19.1 overs to qualify for the ICC T20 World Cup 2016 semi-finals. Virat Kohli finished with an unbeaten 82* off 51 deliveries, a knock that included nine fours and two sixes.
