Moreover, the historic innings (82* off 53 balls) Kohli produced in the electrifying contest has been praised by many in the cricketing fraternity.

Former Australia cricketer Stuart Law was elated by the performance that took place in a crucial encounter and schooled teams citing Kohli’s knock. “If you want to learn how to play T20 cricket, just get a copy of that innings. That’s how you play T20 cricket! If the West Indies are watching, that’s how you play T20 cricket. He (Kohli) had everything- technique, grace, power, running between the wickets aggressively,” said Law on 'BatBricks7 presents Run Ki Runneeti show on CricTracker.

"Nothing else you need. I didn’t see any reverse sweep, didn’t see any ramp over the keeper’s head, I just saw good pure cricket shots from an absolutely class man,” he added.

He had a fine outing in the recent Asia Cup 2022 but this particular innings against Asian giants Pakistan will hand him and the side a major boost ahead of the rest of the fixtures in the marquee tournament.
