40 runs (w/ Ind 31/4)  + 3 wkts (or Pak coukd have got a bigger total)  v Pak 

63 off 33 v Eng in SF 

 

Ind’s MVP  

40 runs from 37 balls and didn’t finish. He got out in the 20th over and put pressure on Kohli/DK to finish. If he had gotten out earlier, Kohli, DK and Ashwin would have finished earlier. If not for Kohli brilliance, we wouldn’t have made it to KOs. He failed in all other matches except the SFs in batting. Average

Nope. The game was lost at 31/4, where he helped to stage a 100 runs p'ship. He was the one who started the assault. With 3 wkts, he also put a brake on Pak's scoring, where the score could have been 180-190. So that also can be added to his score to understand his impact. 40 + 20 to 25 runs saved = 60-65 off 37 balls ... Kohli's was more like a fluke knock (and he made Ind pay when it counted the most in SFs so that negates any positives from that knock). 

 

I am not rating performances blindly based based on results of the game but how a player stood up in the given moment. Even if Ind had lost, which it probably deserved too, it would still be a great clutch AR performances.
