Over 90,000 spectators saw one of the best innings that could ever have been played in the history of cricket. But when the “Chase Master” is at the crease, you don’t want anyone. Virat Kohli has done it once again for India.

At one stage, India needed 28 runs off just 8 balls, and India lost Hardik Pandya and Dinesh Karthik on two balls between those eight balls.
But it was the run machine, or chase master, or King Kohli, who kept India in the chase and India pulled off one of the best chases ever in history. India made 160/6 in reply to Pakistan’s 159/8.
