virat kholi suprb inning today
We have been privileged enough to witness something very special today. That innings from Kohli will be etched into the annals of cricket forever. The composure he showed in the face of crisis, never playing a shot in anger, he's just a freak. That shot off Faulkner which he powered over long-off with his wrists in the 18thover - that was the highlight. It was outrageous. Especially with the history those two share. And then for Faulkner to congratulate Kohliand help him up on his feet while the latter was overcome with the victory, sheer class. I'd better stop drooling over Kohli's batting. Also, this has turned out to be Shane Watson's final match in international cricket. And what a performance he gave today. Put everything on the line. We'll surely miss having him around. His big lunge forward, his front foot pull and .. his DRS reviews too. Anyway, the bottom line is that India are through to the semis and will be facing the West Indies on March 31. That's all we have for tonight. Just soak it all in! Goodbye!Lets glance through some of the tweets from this game:Alex Hales: This is different level!#kohliGreame Smith: Man I'm enjoying this batting @imVkohli#T20WorldCup #IndvsAus #kohliHarsha Bhogle: Kohli has had another run chase for dinner..Shane Warne: Wow, that was absolute class from Virat.Congrats India on your win. Congrats to @ShaneRWatson33 on a wonderful career, hold your head highSanath Jayasuriya: What a player he is. Well done young man. Good luck @imVkohli #WT20 #IndvsAusVVS Laxman: Take a bow @imVkohli more magnificent knock under pressure Not sure he knows the meaning of Pressure#IndvsAus #WT20Russel Arnold: He is an unbelievable Player !!! He is many cuts above the rest.. Composure was amazing ..Kohli you beauty #WT20only the Win Predictor knewSmith:"That was a serious innings from Kohli under pressure. He just hit everything out of the middle and found the gaps. Zampa could have bowled one more over. I thought the quicks bowling their slower balls into the wicket could be handy but it wasn't to be that way [explaining not bowling Zampa out]. But Virat played an unbelievable knock. I thought 160 was about par. And it took an incredible innings from Kohli to take them over the line. I thought we were in a very good position at one point - where they needed over 2 a ball. We let ourselves down in the game against NZ. We were always chasing it from there. Just weren't able to do it tonight.It's been great fun to play here at the World Cup. It's a great place toplay cricket. Wish India all the best."
