For Indian batting maestro Virat Kohli, finding his form at the right moment was essential, and his 76-run knock during India’s T20I World Cup final against South Africa could not have come at a better time. Struggling to find his rhythm throughout the group stage and Super 8s, Kohli’s performance in the final powered India to a formidable total. 

Despite his evident talent, his form eluded him, leading to a series of disappointing scores that became a matter of concern not only for Kohli but to the entire time, however his getting back to form at the right time was one of the reasons behind India’s decisive total. 

Amid the demanding situation, Kohli stepped up and delivered a powerful performance. Recently, Virat Kohli opened up on his struggle during an interaction with Prime Minister Narendra Modi who had invited the team to his residence. 

"This day will always remain in my mind because, in the entire tournament, I was not able to make the contribution that I wanted to and at one time," Kohli said. 

“At one point, I also told Rahul bhai that I have not done justice to both myself and the team till now. So he told me that when the situation comes, I am sure that you will hit the form. So this conversation happened between us and when we went to play, I told Rohit, I did not have that much confidence that I would be able to bat the way I wanted to. So when we went to play, I got three fours in the first 4 balls, so I went and told him, what kind of a game is this? One day it seems that not even a single run will be scored, and then another day comes and everything starts happening," Kohli said.

During the group stage and Super 8s, Kohli could only manage to put up 75 runs overall. But, when team demanded he came all guns blazing to make huge contribution.
