This Sunday showdown between India and Australia will be etched in memory for more than just the final result.

Raina’s Admiration for Kohli’s Resilience 

While the match saw its fair share of highs and lows, it was the dropped catch moment that took centre stage. When Virat Kohli, then at a mere 12 runs, offered a straightforward catch to Australia’s Mitchell Marsh off the delivery of Josh Hazlewood, the cricketing world held its breath. However, it was Raina’s admiration that shone through, as he remarked, “That was the turning point when Mitchell Marsh dropped the catch.”

In the aftermath of the dramatic catch drop, it was Virat Kohli who took the baton to lead India’s charge. With the game hanging in the balance, Kohli displayed remarkable composure and took on the responsibility to steady the innings. Raina, in admiration, noted, “After that, Virat Kohli took a lot of time, took a lot of responsibility, calmed down, and played very well.”

Virat Kohli ‘The GOAT’? 

Kohli’s resilience was on full display as he partnered with Suresh Raina to form a formidable alliance that not only brought India closer to victory but also showcased the spirit of cricket. Kohli scored a brilliant 85 off 116 balls, while Raina played a crucial role, lending solid support. Their partnership was instrumental in securing a memorable win.

Suresh Raina, speaking to Sports Today, couldn’t contain his admiration for Virat Kohli’s ability to perform under pressure in crucial encounters. He emphasized, “Virat Kohli is the chase-master; he always performs for India in big tournaments – that is why he is called ‘King Kohli’.” Raina’s words echo the sentiment of cricket fans worldwide, who have witnessed Kohli’s heroics on numerous occasions.
