Somehow have been drawing a coincidence theory involving Kohli in most of the innings he has played under pressure. Wondering is it really too much of a coincidence ?? , should such amazing batsmanship deserve heartbreak each time ??
1) Ind v SL VB Series 2012
India need to overhaul a target of 320 in less than 40 overs to stay alive in the tournament. Kohli plays the innings of a lifetime by making 133 off a mere 70 odd deliveries to get India the win within the required overs only to see SL beat Aus in the next match enabling India's exit from the tournament.
2) Ind v Pak Asia Cup 2012
India need to win a must win match against archrivals Pakistan. The Pakis bat first and amass a huge total of 329. In comes Kohli and he plays perhaps the most memorable innings ever seen in an Indo Pak encounter by making 183 to get the win for India. What happens next SL lose to Bangladesh which makes India knocked out of the tournament.
3) Ind v Pak T20 World Cup 2012
India again in a must win encounter against Pakis. Kohli rises up to the occassion yet again by scoring an unbeataben 78 to take India across the line. What happens next Aus lose badly to Pakistan and Indias chances of qualifying to the semis take a beating.
4) RCB v CSK IPL 2013
RCB under the cosh and must beat top placed CSK to guarantee themselves any chance to make it to the playoffs. A bit of rain adds fuel to the fire and the game is reduced to an T8 8 over a side encounter. Out comes RCB and Kohli the star yet again shows his mettle under pressure to notch up an undefeated 50 which helps his side beat CSK. What happens next SRH defeat KKR and its Bye Bye Bangalore from the IPL.
Wondering what really is the conclusion and moral of the story ??
