Virat Kohli mention his favorite cricket moment

“Apart from the 2011 finals, my other favorite match from the atmosphere and importance of the game point of view would be the 2016 T20 quarter-finals against Australia in Mohali,”

By the way, the Indian team had a big 7-wicket defeat from the West Indies team in the semi-finals. The West Indies team defeated England to become the world champions.

Due to COVID 19, the situation is very difficult and the chances of cricket being played are less visible. Matches are likely to be held in the vacant stadium in the future. IPL has been already postponed by BCCI for an indefinite period and T20 World Cup is also under threat.
