As Team India celebrated their 12th anniversary of the 2011 World Cup win on Sunday (April 2, 2023), Virat Kohli, who was part of the victorious Indian team of 2011, paid a fitting tribute to Dhoni.
With 6 runs needed off 3.5 overs to win against five-time IPL champions, Virat finished off the match in style and struck a mammoth six, a shot very much similar to Dhoni’s the day India won the World Cup 12 years ago, to seal the deal for RCB.
Virat remained unbeaten on 82, a knock studded with 6 fours and 5 sixes.
