Virat Kohli’s showed his mettle in the semi-final match of the 20-20 World Cup against South Africa in 2014. Chasing a formidable score of 172, India needed a man to play a big knock and it was Virat Kohli who rose to the occasion. The likes of Rohit Sharma and Ajinkya Rahane got starts but neither of them could convert that into big scores.

But Virat Kohli was in no mood to get out. He didn’t spare a single Proteas bowler and helped India register a memorable win. His unbeaten 72 off 44 helped the team chase down the score in 19.1 overs and, thereby, win the game by 6 wickets.
