India and Pakistan, two of the greatest rivals in men’s cricket, squared up on Sunday for the T20 world cup, which is now taking place at Melbourne Cricket Ground in Australia. The game was a testament to Virat Kohli’s excellent play, but it was also a trip down memory lane for the time of year when much of India is celebrating Diwali.

People gathered to enjoy both the festival of lights and the match between India and Pakistan, which was called the most anticipated game to that point.

At the MCG, Virat Kohli displayed classic form as he scored a brilliant 82 off 53 balls to lead India to an unexpected victory.

India shockingly defeated Pakistan thanks to a masterful Virat Kohli performance. Despite the fact that India lost their top four batsmen in the first seven overs, Kohli practically single-handedly guided India to victory. Despite being at the non-end striker’s for the final ball, off which India required one run to win, the former India captain was undefeated on 82 off 53 balls. The Indian players surrounded Kohli as R Ashwin smashed the ball over the infield, setting off frenzied celebrations.
