It may have looked like a leisurely stroll in the park according to the scoreboard, but for India, especially Kohli and Rahul, it was akin to walking on a treacherous path. When Iyer was out at the end of the second over, his condition became critical. With Kishan, Rohit and Iyer all out for ducks, India found themselves in a dire situation at 2/3. Australia had gained the upper hand.
Then, Kohli and Rahul formed a partnership that showcased their collective experience and ability to thrive under pressure. Although Kohli got a lifeline when Marsh dropped him for 12 off Hazlewood, the rest of their partnership was almost flawless. He weathered the initial storm of fast bowlers, handled Maxwell’s spin deftly and built his innings from there. Both batsmen reached their respective half-centuries and ultimately established India’s highest partnership against Australia in World Cup history. As they came close to sealing the deal, there was a twist when Kohli went out in an attempt to challenge Australia’s top bowler Hazlewood. However, Rahul remained calm till the end, scoring the winning runs and ensuring India’s victory.
