In a Star Sports interview, Kohli prioritized contributions that were crucial to India's victories over some of his more celebrated high-scoring innings, including his 35 runs in the 2011 World Cup final and centuries against Sri Lanka and England. The 2013 final was a rain-affected, reduced-overs match where Kohli's knock helped India secure the title.
