Virat Kohli once again showed his amazing skills in a crucial match as he scored 84 runs, helping India reach the semi-finals of the Champions Trophy. India had to chase down a target of 265 runs against Australia, and Kohli played a key role in making it happen. Although he was close to scoring his 25th century, he didn’t let that stop him from playing an excellent innings filled with control and focus.
After the match, Kohli shared that big games inspire him. “I love playing cricket. As long as I enjoy batting, everything else will fall into place,” he said. Kohli emphasized the importance of hard work and being prepared for important matches. He believes that when you focus on teamwork and play well under pressure, it feels great.
Despite some early challenges with quick wickets, other players like Shreyas Iyer, Axar Patel, and KL Rahul joined Kohli to build important partnerships and help India smoothly reach the target. “It feels fantastic when teammates step up. Hardik made key shots at tense moments, and KL finished the game strongly. Each of us contributed to this win. The team is in a good place,” Kohli noted.
Now, India awaits the winner of the semi-final match between South Africa and New Zealand, who scored an impressive 362 runs in their game in Karachi. India previously defeated New Zealand in the group stage.
