The Indian team
failed to lift the 2022 T20 World Cup as England crushed them by 10 wickets in
the semi-finals. Throughout the tournament, the Rohit Sharma-led team had a
brilliant run winning four of their five Super-12 matches. India made a strong
start to the campaign as they registered a four-match win against Pakistan. The
tension turned out to be a full over as the Indians were down to 31/4 while
chasing 160. Virat Kohli came to the team's rescue, smashing 82 off 53 balls
and bringing India home in a thrilling finish.
During his
chase, Kohli hit a straight six against Haris Rauf in the last two balls of the
19th over. The six that came after Kohli hit the ground, became the talk of the
town as his fans and many cricketers hailed the Indian for his brilliance.
However, when asked by a fan in the popular Pakistani show 'Hasna Mana Hai' about those sixes, pacer Haris Rauf said that this kind of hit is rare in cricket and the Indian batsman will never be able to do it again. shoot this gun.
"Of course, it hurt when that went for a six. I didn't say anything but it hurt me personally. I thought something wrong had happened. Anyone who knows cricket knows what sort of a player he is. He has played that shot now; I don't think he can do that again. Such shots are quite rare, you can't hit them again and again. His timing was perfect, and it went for a six," said Rauf.
