Rohit Sharma who has lost his voice says he can't believe what just happened. Adds things like this can be expected. States they always believed and they always back themselves irrespective of the situation. Mentions the pitch had something in it for the bowlers and the pacers used the conditions well but Pakistan batted well later on. Admits it was not going to be an easy target to chase and they had to bat really well. Also says Hardik and Kohli were brilliant, they are experienced players and they took the game as deep as possible. Ends by saying it is a confidence boosting win and from where they won is more pleasing and it is probably Kohli's best knock ever.
Babar Azam says their bowlers bowled well but credit to Kohli and Pandya as stole the game. Adds with the bat, it was not easy with the swing there but they built a partnership and ended well. Shares he told boys to stick to the plans but credit to Kohli again. Reckons he utlized his main bowlers earlier because he wanted some wickets. Adds there are many positives from this game.
The crowd roars as Kohli has been handed the MAN OF THE MATCH AWARD. He says it is a surreal atmosphere. Adds Hardik told to just believe. Shares that they knew that Nawaz had one over. Adds they had a plan to go after Shaheen and Rauf. Tells that the shots in the second last over were instinctive. Says his innings at Mohali against Australia was similar but this game will rank much higher. On the crowd, says it is phenomenal. He was struggling but the crowd supported him throughout.
... TIME FOR THE PRESENTATION ...
Earlier in the day, after electing to bowl, India had Pakistan in trouble by getting the two openers early. Shan Masood though along with the rest took his side to a competitive total. In reply, India were always behind the 8-ball but a brilliant innings from Kohli who got able support from Pandya ensured it is India who have pulled a rabbit out of the hat.
Pakistan will be heart broken! This is a defeat which they sink in so easy! Even their fans in the crowd looked heart broken. Their bowlers were breathing fire earlier on. They had India right on the back foot but they just succumbed under pressure in the final phase of the innings. Bowlers like Rauf and Shaheen who are known for their excellent bowling at the death just could not handle the pressure of the big stage. To add to that, Nawaz who has had an amazing 6 months or so, turned out to be the villian. Have to believe, that no ball in the last over is what cost Pakistan the game.
India were down and out at 31 for 4, they were behind the 8-ball game big time. Then came the stand which gane India hope. Pandya and Kohli batted wonderfully. The two took their time initially, did not panic even when the run rate needed went above 11, they continued to play their own way and when the time came, the two stepped on the gas. It was the 12th over which shifted the momentum towards India where they got 20. From there on, India always managed to keep the run rate needed in tact. It came down to around 50 needed in the last three and then it was the Kohli show. It was he who started finding the boundaries and they got it down to 16 from the last over. Pandya was dismissed on the very first ball but Kohli stayed there till the end and ensured his side got over the line.
Cometh the hour, cometh the man! No matter what one is doing, get on your feet and bow down to the King! Virat Kohli, he is a player of a lifetime. What a knock. Yes, he has done it before but this was special. Very special. He has stolen a win from Pakistan. The crowd here are going bonkers. Have to say, they have witnessed a special game and a magical knock from one of the best ever, Virat Kohli!

Karthik is found off-guarded and Rizwan does brilliantly to remove the bails. Another twist in this chase! What a game this is turning out to be! ASHWIN ON THE STRIKE. TWO RUNS NEEDED NOW.

Mohammad Nawaz To Hardik Pandya OUT!
OUT! TAKEN! PANDYA GOES! New batter will be on strike! This is full and on middle, a pacers delivery. Rizwan was standing well behind than the mark. This is full and on middle. Pandya swings across the line but gets a top edge and it goes high but not far enough. Babar takes a simple catch at covers.
The last two balls have changed the course of the game! 16 is surely chasable. The two out there will back themselves against Nawaz. Nawaz, the last time he bowled against India in the last over did not have a lot to defend and he failed to do so. This time he has 15. Can he do it? Can he hold his nerve here?

Shadab Khan To Axar Patel OUT!
OUT! PATEL IS RUN OUT! India 4 down now. What is happening with India? A decision that will make the headlines but for now Patel is a goner. Interestingly, the way Mohammad Rizwan reacted, he knew he messed up as Rizwan slightly lost the ball while clipping the bails off. But the third umpire decision is out. Coming to the delivery - On middle, Patel tucks it to mid-wicket and looks for a quick single but that was a risky one. Kohli sends Azar from the halfway mark. Babar Azam there fumbles a bit as he throws it to Mohammad Rizwan. He whips the bails off but the replay shows the ball was coming off the mitts. It was touch and go for the third umpire. Very tough one to find a result. In the end, the big screen shows OUT.

Haris Rauf To Suryakumar Yadav OUT!
OUT! EDGED AND GONE! The danger man is gone! Kohli is there but Pakistan know how important is this wicket. Haris Rauf is loving it. He is probably the best bowler of Pakistan in past couple of months. Short of a length and around middle. Suryakumar opens the face of the bat and looks to dab it away but is cramped for room and it goes of the outside edge and to the keeper. Good grab from Mohammad Rizwan.

Haris Rauf To Suryakumar Yadav
FOUR! Nicely played! Wonderful shot! Fuller and on middle, Yadav shows the full face of the bat and creams it past mid on. This guy won't hold back. He will play his shots and that is a lovely one to get off the mark.
Suryakumar Yadav has already walked in. Rohit Sharma has just told to wait as the third umpire checks the catch. It is clearly a fair catch.

Haris Rauf To Rohit Sharma OUT!
This is interesting! They have gone upstairs to check for the catch but Rohit has already walked back! The SOFT SIGNAL IS OUT! OUT! IT IS A CLEAN CATCH! Rohit knew and that is why he already back in the hut. This is a beauty from Rauf and he gets the Indian skipper. Pakistan all over India at the moment. This is on a length and around off, this lands and moves away. Rohit has a tentative poke at it. It goes off the outside edge. Iftikhar Ahmed takes a really good catch diving to his right and low. Rohit starts walking back and Pakistan are celebrating.

Shaheen Afridi To Virat Kohli
From around the wicket now, probably because the ball is not swinging. Length and on off, Kohli looks to push it on the up but it goes off the inner half back to the bowler.

Naseem Shah To KL Rahul OUT!
OUT! TIMBER! Naseem Shah gets rid of KL Rahul yet again and he has played on yet again. This dismissal was so similar to the way he got out in the Asia Cup a few months back. Good length and on off, this one comes back in a touch. Rahul looks to play it with an open face of the bat. It goes off the inside edge and then onto the stumps. Perfect start for Pakistan.

Naseem Shah To KL Rahul
Going down leg! Rahul is disappointed he did not put that away! Angled into the pads, Rahul looks to flick but misses. Half an appeal but turned down. Naseem Shah was looking to shape it away from the leg stump line but no movement there. Needs to correct it if no movement.
Who will bowl from the other end? It is Naseem Shah.

On the fuller side again, Rohit plays it late and towards cover. He is worried about the one coming back in and hence, is playing it late.

Shaheen Afridi To KL Rahul
Just short! What a start that would have been for Pakistan! No swing though first up! Shaheen goes full, he ends up bowling a full toss but it dips towards the end. Rahul plays a check-shot. It goes uppishly but lands just short of Shaheen.
