One match that everyone recalls when discussing the T20 World Cup 2022 is India's match versus Pakistan. India was able to grab the victory from the Men in Green partly due to Virat Kohli.

The former Indian captain recently discussed the World Cup in an interview with his former Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) colleague AB De Villiers in his 360 show on Youtube.

Virat was asked about the best atmosphere in the field of cricket and he mentioned two events. The 34-year-old said, "The 2011 world cup final that we played in Mumbai was unbelievable and I've not yet experienced anything like that till the 23rd of October against Pakistan at the MCG, that night was something else, it was more than a sporting experience. It feels fresh even now when I think about it". Kohli also mentioned the IPL 2016 final as one of the best sporting atmospheres he was a part of".

There were a lot of exchanges of memories and and the host also asked Virat, "who was the best to run between the wickets with?” and Kohli instantly replied, "AB (AB De Villiers) has been the fastest by far that I have run with between the wickets and the only other guy I had so much understanding and coordination with was MS (Dhoni)"

"I never even had to call for runs with these guys", Kohli further said.

Kohli is currently in Chennai gearing up for the third and final ODI match against Australia on March 22 in the MA Chidambaram Stadium. Both teams arte levelled on 1-1 and will be meeting for the series decider on Wednesday.
