Kohli said he didn’t know how it happened, as at one point India needed 67 runs in the final six overs and a win from there seemed like a distant dream. However, Kohli had different plans and the right-handed hitter pummeled the Australian bowling attack breaking nine fours and two sixes.
The Indian patron said the entries were so “special” that everything kept coming out as he admitted to being under pressure.
“My 183 against Pakistan is special as we chased it against Pakistani bowlers, I felt like ‘looking forward to going somewhere I wanted to go’, but you (Smith) may not like it and wanted to point out, my favorite is that T20 we play in Mohali, “Kohli said to the Australian batter Steve Smith in a video posted by BCCI.

“I don’t know, literally, I went into a trance mode, you feel like things are getting difficult. I still don’t understand how it happened to date. And it was like everything that was hitting was sinking I entered the zone that after I couldn’t break up, that was so special. You’re under pressure and everything is coming out, “he added.
Australia had posted 160 in their 20 overs assigned to the back of Usman Khawaja and Aaron Finchhits. India was 94/4 at one stage with Kohli and then-skipper MS Dhoni on the fold. Both batsmen ensured that India passed the line in the Super 10 match of the main event.
Meanwhile, India and Australia are preparing for the four-match test series. The first test will begin on Thursday at the Adelaide Oval and will be a day and night contest.
