Kohli’s favourites: 2011 World Cup final, 2016 World T20 tie versus Australia
Prolific India batsman and current captain Virat Kohli has always been vocal about reminiscing the day when Team India, under the leadership of MS Dhoni, lifted the 2011 World Cup, beating Sri Lanka in the summit clash on April 2.

The win had ended India’s 28-year-old wait for the coveted trophy. In addition to that glorious moment at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai, Kohli also has another match that he will always remember the 2016 World T20 group stage game against Australia in Mohali on March 27.
His unbeaten 82 in that clash helped India snatch a thrilling six-wicket win and book a berth in the semi-finals of the competition. “Apart from the 2011 final, my other favourite match, from the atmosphere and importance of the game points of view, would be the 2016 T20 WC game against Australia,” Kohli said while speaking on Star Sports’ show ‘Cricket Connected’.
However, India had to face a crushing seven-wicket defeat at the hands of eventual title-winner West Indies in the semi-finals.
Virat and Anushka donate Rs 10 lakh

“Thank you @imVkohli and @AnushkaSharma for contributing Rs 5 lakh each towards the welfare of Mumbai Police personnel. Your contribution will safeguard those at the frontline in the fight against coronavirus. #MumbaiPoliceFoundation,” Param Bir tweeted from his official handle.
