One user wrote about the viral video, “That moment was everything! Kohli and Anushka’s bond just makes every victory sweeter.” While another fan said, “moment hai bhai.”
A third user wrote, “Ye to banta hai, The celebration from Kohli to Anushka after India winning the Semi Final.”
Kohli notched up 84 off 98 balls as India chased down a 265-run target for the loss of six wickets with almost 2 overs to spare. “It was pretty similar to the other day against Pakistan as well. For me it is about understanding the conditions and preparing my game accordingly.. just rotating strike because partnerships on this pitch are the most important thing,” Kohli said after receiving the 7th ‘Player of the Match’ award in ICC ODI event.
“My only effort that day and today was to string in enough partnerships. The time that I got out, the plan was to get 20 more and try and finish it off in a couple of overs. Usually that’s the template I follow but sometimes you can’t execute things how you want to,” he added.
