Do you remember the famous Mohali game in the 2016 ICC T20 World Cup between India and Australia. Team India was in under pressure after losing two early wickets as they were chasing a score of 160 against a Australian team.
Yuvraj Singh supported Virat Kohli for a while but he went after scoring 21 runs and the Indian team required 67 runs off the last 6 overs when captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni joined Virat.
Kohli then just shows one of the best accelerators in the game an attack on the Australian bowling line-up showing a wide range of his shots and both of them helped India to achieve the target and qualify for the semi-finals of the 2016 ICC T20 World Cup.
Right after three years of that memorable game and the partnership between Virat and MSD Kohli shared the image and his thoughts on the game on social media saying that MSD made him run like it was a âfitness testâ during the game.
A game I can never forget. Special night. This man, made me run like in a fitness test ð @msdhoni ð®ð³ pic.twitter.com/pzkr5zn4pG

MSD converted ones into twos on that day which was the feature of that partnership that help India to finish the game with five balls to spare.
