When India needed 47 runs from last four overs, the odds were heavily stacked against them but not for the first time, Virat Kohli produced a gem once again, this time at Mohali to take India home. Kohli produced one of the greatest T20I knocks in the virtual quarter-final clash of the ICC World T20 2016 against Australia to guide India to the semi-final of the tournament. ICC World T20 2016, Super 10, Pick of the tweets: India vs Australia at Mohali
Winning the toss and batting first, Australia were off to a brilliant start with 53 on the board from four overs. India came back well and managed to restrict Australia to 160. Once again, Indian openers failed to get going but Kohli held the innings together and went ballistic in the end. India will now face West Indies in the semi-final at Mumbai on Thursday.
