Melbourne: Virat Kohli on Sunday played one of the finest innings of his career to sail India home from a difficult situation against Pakistan at the team’s first match at the 2022 T20 World Cup.
He was awarded the man of the match for his magical knock.
Speaking at the presentation, Kohli said he was lost for words after the innings and did not know how that happened as the team was under immense pressure after losing four wickets for 31 runs when he and Hardik Pandya anchored the innings.
“It's a surreal atmosphere, I have no words, no idea how that happened. I am really lost for words.” He said.
“Haris is their prime bowler, and I hit those two sixes. From 28 in 8, it came down to 16 to 6.” He said about his fabulous heroics in the penultimate over.
“Till today Mohali was my best innings against Australia. Today I will count this one higher.” He added when asked if this was his best innings to date.
Sending a special message for the fans Kohli said “The crowd has been phenomenal. You guys (fans) kept backing me and I am grateful for your support.”

AIITA welcomes Karnataka’s ban on obscene songs in school events
Bhatkal: The Karnataka unit of the All India Ideal Teachers Association (AIITA) has welcomed the Karnataka government’s decision to strictly ban school children from dancing to obscene songs during educational and cultural programmes in government, aided, and private schools across the state.
AIITA Karnataka State President M. R. Manvi congratulated the government for taking what he termed an important step to preserve the sanctity of education.
“Such decisions to safeguard the dignity of school children and uphold the values of education are the need of the hour. This rule should not be limited to government schools alone but must be strictly implemented in all private educational institutions as well,” he said.
He further urged the government to address other concerns within school programmes.
“The government should not only prohibit obscene dances in the name of school anniversaries, but also ensure that plays and dialogues that incite religious hatred are avoided. Schools should be centres of harmony, not platforms for spreading hatred,” he added.
According to a recent circular issued by the Department of School Education and Literacy, obscene dances are adversely affecting the mental health and moral values of students.
In this regard, schools have been advised to use songs that promote nationalism, positive thinking, the greatness of Kannada culture, and value-based traditions instead of inappropriate content during programmes.
The circular also emphasises that students should be dressed in decent attire.
AIITA also backed the department’s warning that disciplinary action would be taken against head teachers if such guidelines are violated. The association has further demanded that district Deputy Directors of Public Instruction strictly monitor the implementation of these rules.
