India National Cricket Team batter Virat Kohli came up with his best innings in T20Is during the game against Pakistan National Cricket Team in the T20 World Cup 2022. The match between the two teams took place at the iconic Melbourne Cricket Ground in Melbourne.
One of the vital support that Virat Kohli got came from Hardik Pandya. The all-rounder, along with the batter, soaked in all the pressure and made sure that he brought his team back into the game. The duo took the game deep to the last over before Kohli pulled off an incredible chase.
While talking about that innings, Hardik Pandya said that it was a steep hill to climb, but it was about believing in themselves and taking it step by step. He said that his prime objective was to make sure that Virat Kohli was playing till the last over. Speaking to ICC, he said:"My first thought was obviously that we could do it. It looked like a very steep hill to climb, but for me, I’ve been in many games where you don’t lose a battle until you give up, right? So, it was about believing in ourselves, staying at the crease, and taking the game ball by ball, step by step."Let’s see who cracks under pressure. My primary objective in this game was for Virat to play as long as possible. As soon as I walked in, my only message to him was that he had to stay until the 20th over."
