Later in the video, the Delhi-born cricketer was questioned about the one game which broke his heart, and Kohli came up with two instead, both of which were in 2016. The first was the IPL final, where RCB despite playing in their home stadium, lost the summit clash by 8 runs. 

The second was the ICC T20 World Cup semifinal against West Indies, wherein Kohli scored an unbeaten 89 off 47 but India ended up losing the match still, by 7 wickets.
