Kohli's came knock came after India were reeling at 31/4 following a top-order collapse.
He was involved in a 113-run partnership with Hardik Pandya, who was eventually dismissed on 40, but Kohli kept going and took his team to a win.
India captain Rohit Sharma rated Kohli's match-winning exploits against Pakistan as not just his best-ever innings but one of the greatest in Indian cricket history.
"Definitely his best for sure, but I think from the situation we were in, and to come out with a victory, I think it has to be one of India's best knocks," said Sharma of Kohli's 53-ball effort.
"Because until the 13th over we were so behind the game, and the required rate was just climbing up and up.
"But to come out and chase that score was an extremely brilliant effort from Virat, and then obviously Hardik (Pandya) played a role there as well."
