It is not often that you see MS Dhoni being overshadowed while finishing off a high-stakes match. However, that is exactly what happened when India beat Australia in the 2016 ICC World T20 in Mohali. Kohli’s brilliant 51-ball 82 in a nail-biting chase powered India to the semi-finals of the home tournament.

In a must-win match, Kohli showcased his peerless batting prowess and excellent running between the wickets to take India to the semi-finals. So good was Kohli that Dhoni would later quip "He needs to pay me for running all his runs." Kohli finally let loose and scored 32 runs from the 17th and 18th overs to bring India home. An emotional Kohli later rated the knock as his best and said, “Probably the top right now, because I'm a bit emotional, so I would like to put this on top.”
