Virat Kohli notched up a resilient half-century (76 off 59 balls, including 6 fours and 2 sixes) as India managed to set a target of 176 for seven in the T20 World Cup final against South Africa on Saturday.
Choosing to bat first after winning the toss, India faced early challenges, slipping to 34 for three by the fifth over. Rohit Sharma (9), Rishabh Pant (0), and Suryakumar Yadav (3) were early casualties. However, Kohli and Axar Patel (47 off 31 balls) breathed new life into India's innings with a strong partnership, while Shivam Dube (27 off 16 balls) also contributed significantly.
