23 October

Dates follow UTC, the same clock as our daily posts.

On this day in 2022, Virat Kohli produced one of the finest T20I innings against Pakistan, scoring 82 off 53 balls to anchor India's chase at the MCG. His masterclass remains the standout among a day rich with memorable performances, with Hardik Pandya (3 wickets for 30) and Arshdeep Singh (3 for 32) chipping in with the ball, while Shan Masood's 52 off 42 kept Pakistan competitive.

Two years earlier in the 2020 IPL, Mumbai Indians dismantled Chennai Super Kings, with Ishan Kishan blazing 68 off 37 and Trent Boult claiming 4 for 18. Elsewhere, Kusal Mendis struck 68 off 43 for Sri Lanka against Ireland in 2022, and Adil Rashid delivered a remarkable 4 for 2 against West Indies in 2021.
