Kohli had stitched an 83-run stand with Gautam Gambhir for the third wicket before he fell against the run of the play and skipper MS Dhoni promoted himself to No.5 and as they say, the rest is history.

Virat Kohli brought out his best in pressure situations and on a difficult surface in Mirpur in the 2014 World T20, he scored a 58-ball 77 against a good bowling attack of Sri Lanka

Kohli was run out on 77 and even though he fought and ground it out, India still finished with a below-par score of 130 and ended up losing the clash

In other ICC events, Champions Trophy in particular, Kohli had scores of 43 (34) in the 2013 final against England and 5 (9) against Pakistan in the 2017 final
