In the penultimate match of ICC World T20 2016 between India and West Indies at Mumbai, once again Virat Kohli showed his class of batting and scored a belligerent knock of unbeaten 47-ball 89. Before him, Ajinkya Rahane and Rohit Sharma provided the much needed start for India and Kohli carried on the momentum.
The crowd at Wankhede stadium kept chanting Kohli Kohli and in between India’s greatest batsman and local boy Sachin Tendulkar was remembered. He was at the venue and the seen at the venue and crowd went chanting from ‘Kohli Kohli’ to ‘Sachin Sachin.’ Kohli did bring them memories of the great Indian cricketer.
Not only crowd at Wankhede, also fans on social media tweeted about the same. We bring you some of the best tweets on both Kohli’s epic knock, and of course some on ‘Sachin Sachin’
