Talking about those two sixes for the first time, Rauf told a Pakistani website that he would have been “hurt” if Hardik Pandya or Dinesh Karthik had hit him for sixes like that.

Rauf said in an interview to ‘Cricwick’ website, “He is a player of a different level and the kind of shots he plays and the two sixes he hit, I don’t think any other player could have hit those shots.” If Dinesh Karthik or Hardik Pandya had hit me like that, I would have been disappointed but Kohli did it, he is a different player. ,
He said, “I did not know that he (Kohli) could hit that kind of shot down the ground at that length. So the shot he took on me was because of his skill. My planning and execution was good but that shot was of superb quality. (agency)
