The India-Pakistan battles have been quite magnificent in the past few years, considering both sides have been at their best in this epic rivalry. When both the giants of world cricket met the last time, it was Men in Blue, who triumphed in a nerve-wracking encounter during the T20 World Cup. 

The match went right down to the wire, with India clinching the game at the very last delivery. For the most part, India looked down and out, however, it was their world-renowned superstar Virat Kohli who pulled them back in the chase out of nowhere by putting on a masterclass.

During the game, one moment was etched in the heart of the fans and will remain there for the longest time. It was Kohli's six against Haris Rauf, which was thumped down the ground by the experienced batter, that turned the game upside down.

In a recent chat show, Rauf was asked about how he felt after he conceded that six against Kohli, to which the pacer replied, that he was extremely hurt.

“Of course, it hurt when that went for a six. I didn’t say anything but it hurt me personally. I thought something wrong had happened,

“Anyone who knows cricket knows what sort of a player he is. He has played that shot now; I don’t think he can do that again. Such shots are quite rare, you can’t hit them again and again. His timing was perfect and it went for a six."

India and Pakistan are all set to clash again in this year's Asia cup and World Cup, both of which will be played in the 50-over format.
