“I’m really lost for words”, Virat Kohli expressed his emotions after stunning win against Pakistan.

In the first match between India and Pakistan in the T20 World Cup 2022, India took nice revenge against its archrival Pakistan in their first tournament meeting at Melbourne Cricket Ground. It’s a Diwali gift for the billions of Indian cricket lovers right before Diwali. Not to mention that India’s loss to Pakistan in the last T20 world cup, which was held in 2021, marked the nation’s first loss to Pakistan in a T20 world cup match.

It was do-or-die for Indian cricket team today to payback Pakistan before Diwali. Indian cricket fans of the country was visibly gripped by the T20 cricket fever, and opponent Pakistan contributed to the energy and enthusiasm before the game. India won the toss and put Pakistan into bat at the stunning Melbourne Cricket Stadium in Australia.

The leading Indian captain, Rohit Sharma, maintained composure and prevented Pakistan from amassing a large total against India. Only 159 runs were scored by Pakistan in 20 overs, losing 8 wickets along the way. Only three Pakistani batsmen have reached the two-digit run threshold. Iftikhar Ahmed and Masood both made half-centuries.

Indian bowlers played quite intelligently against Pakistan batsmen and forced the batsmen from playing aggressive and attacking cricket. Arshdeep Sing and Hardik Pandya, two Indian bowlers, each claimed three wickets. Bhubneswar and Shami both claimed one wicket, but their frugal spells were sufficient to cut down Pakistan’s overall tally.

In response to Pakistan’s low total of 159, Indian batsmen had to play only sensible cricket in front of about 90,000 spectators, keeping the scoreboard active and holding the key wickets in hand. The charge was led by the fiery Indian captain Rohit Sharma and the meticulous K.L. Rahul, but they lost their wickets in a brief session.

The earlier setback to Pakistan in the last T20 world championship began to resurface in the minds of Indian fans. However, there was still reason for optimism because India’s most determined, reliable, and fit Virat Kohli was yet to enter the field. All fans and players are growing more and more excited as time goes by. Virat Kohli immediately began to show off his skills and desire to fill the scoreboard with 4s and 6s, which were Diwali firecrackers.

Surya Kumar Yadav and Axar Patel, his two partners, were unable to handle the pressure against Pakistan and were dismissed after scoring only a few runs and not offering Virat Kohli much help. The destructive all-rounder Hardik Pandya, the no. 6 batsman, entered and managed the loss of wickets to sustain a strong partnership with Virat to the conclusion. He contributed significantly to Virat Kohli’s success during a vital period and scored 40 runs off 37 balls, including 1 four and 2 sixes.

Virat Kohli guided India to victory despite the team losing 6 wickets by scoring an incredible 82 runs in just 53 balls, including 6 fours and 4 sixes. His significant contribution not only enabled India to register a thrilling win in the first match of T20 Cricket World Cup 2022, but it also enabled India to get revenge on Pakistan.

“I’m really lost for words”, Virat Kohli expressed his emotions after his match-winning unbeaten knock against Pakistan. Undoubtedly, carrying the legacy of the No. 1 spot in the men’s T20 international was a gratifying moment for the former captain of India.

This victory is widely celebrated around the country as a Diwali gift, with groups of cricket fans receiving delicious treats and firecrackers being set off in celebration.

In the next match India will take on Netharlands on Thursday 27th October 2022 in Sydney Cricket Ground, Sydney.
