Buckle up for a thrilling episode as we dissect the heart-pounding opening match of the 2023 Cricket World Cup, featuring a face-off between cricket giants India and Australia. This match had it all - sensational bowling, dramatic collapses, a resilient partnership, and a touch of cricketing humour.

India's spin trio of Ravindra Jadeja, Kuldeep Yadav, and Ravichandran Ashwin spun a mesmerizing web around the Australian batsmen, collectively capturing six crucial wickets. Jadeja emerged as the star performer, boasting figures of 3/28 in his 10 overs, leaving the Aussies struggling.

However, Australia mounted a late surge, setting a challenging target of 200 for India. What followed was a dramatic twist of fate as India's top order crumbled to a perilous 2/3 in just 1.5 overs, with three of the top four batsmen dismissed for ducks. Australia sniffed a chance to stage a comeback.

But then, the magic unfolded. KL Rahul and Virat Kohli, two of India's finest, joined forces and orchestrated an iconic partnership worth 164 runs. King Kohli, as always, played a masterful innings, coming agonizingly close to a century with a brilliant 85 runs. KL Rahul, on the other hand, stayed unbeaten at 97, guiding the team to a stunning victory with a six - albeit missing his well-deserved century in a somewhat comical manner.

In this episode, we relive the thrilling moments, dissect the key turning points, and celebrate the heroics of KL Rahul and Virat Kohli. We delve into the incredible game awareness and composure displayed by Kohli - a classic manoeuvre when the team is in trouble, in a high-stakes World Cup match against Australia, in a challenging run chase with the team at a precarious position of 2/3. Now, that's a situation tailor-made for a King Kohli Classic, where he knows exactly what to do, and his pacing of the innings has always been spot on. It's what we like to call, Kohli's Gambit.
