Virat Kohli gets nostalgic while revealing his favourite knock to Steve Smith

Indian skipper Virat Kohli revealed to his batting counterpart Steve Smith that his "favorite" knock is the one he played against Australia in the 2016 T20 World Cup and revealed he had gone into a trance while down Australia's score at the PCA Stadium in Mohali. Virat's quickfire match-winning knock helped India beat Australia and consolidate a semi-final spot. 

 'I went into a trance mode': Virat Kohli

"My 183 against Pakistan is special as we chased it down against Pakistan bowlers, I felt 'hold on it is going somewhere where I wanted to go' but you (Smith) might not like it and I wanted to point out, my most favorite is that T20 we played in Mohali," Kohli told Australia batsman Steve Smith in a video posted by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI).

"I don't know literally, I went into a trance mode you feel like things are becoming difficult. I still don't understand how it happened to date. And it was like everything I was hitting was going into the gaps and I just went into the zone that I couldn't breakdown after, that was so special. You're under pressure and everything is coming off," he added.
