The 36-year-old's place in the team was under scrutiny leading up to the final, following a string of low scores in the tournament.

However, he rose to the occasion with a match-winning half-century against South Africa in the T20 World Cup 2023 final.

Kohli's gritty 59-ball 76 gave India a fighting total of 176, a score that Rohit Sharma's men successfully defended.

With this victory, Kohli has now completed a unique quadruple of ICC trophies in his career.

He is the first player to win four different ICC titles: the U19 World Cup, Champions Trophy, ODI World Cup, and T20 World Cup.

Kohli's accomplishment is matched only by Yuvraj Singh, though in a slightly different manner, as Yuvraj won the ICC Champions Trophy in 2002 when India were joint-winners with Sri Lanka.
