Dinesh Karthik brought Kohli back on strike with a single on the next ball. With a double on the next and 13 needed from 3 balls, Kohli hit a no ball for a smacking six, picking 7 runs off. It was suddenly 6 needed of 3 balls and Pakistan was on the backfoot in an instant. What followed was a bizarre commotion where Kohli was bowled on the free hit but the pace took the ball to the third man and a quick-witted Kohli picked up 3 runs.
