There have been numerous memorable clashes between India and Pakistan, each contributing to the elation of this rivalry. Their recent T20I outing was at the T20I World Cup 2022 group stage match where hair-raising scenes were witnessed after Indian superstar Virat Kohli staged India’s come-from-behind victory with his glorious 82-run knock unbeaten. 

Chasing 160 for victory, Kohli and Hardik Pandya (40) lifted India from great hardship in their 113-run partnership after they lost both openers Rohit Sharma and KL Rahul for four runs each. Kohli’s masterclass powered India to an unimaginable win after pulling off a highly unlikely straight six off Haris Rauf. Kohli fired a back-of-the-leghth delivery over long on, executing a remarkable six. As the rivalry is set to unfold once again, it will encapsulate the fervor, passion, and the unforgettable moments.
