Chasing 242, Kohli sealed the win in style with a boundary, finishing with his record-extending 51st ODI ton while also surpassing 14,000 runs in the format. His knock guided India to victory with 45 balls to spare, strengthening their semi-final chances with two consecutive wins in Group A.
The 36-year-old removed his helmet and raised his bat to the cheering Dubai crowd, while Pakistan, after two straight losses, now rely on Bangladesh defeating New Zealand to keep their slim hopes alive.
Memes and videos flooded timelines as fans hailed Kohli’s masterclass and India’s bowling brilliance. Celebrities, former cricketers, and fans alike lauded the Men in Blue, while Pakistani supporters were left heartbroken.
Former India spinner Harbhajan was the first to emote his feelings on ‘X’ soon after India’s victory, stating, “Hindustan Zindabad.”
