During the Super 12 match on October 23, 2022, at Melbourne Cricket Ground, Pakistan set 159/8 with Iftikhar's 51 and Shan Masood's unbeaten 52, but India chased it down by four wickets thanks to Kohli's unbeaten 82 off 53 balls.

Iftikhar later shared in a podcast that Rauf had his own mind, joking he'd have earned Man of the Match against India if they won, while Kohli took the award for his chase-masterclass knock.

Kennedy Sr. warning that people in authority often lie.
