IND vs WI, 1st T20I: Cricket Fraternity Hails Virat Kohli Kohli For His Majestic 94*

Kohli took the cricketing fraternity by storm as they couldn’t resist themselves from heaping praises on the Indian skipper

On Friday evening, Kohli brought the Hyderabad crowd to its feet as he bettered his personal best and scored an unbeaten 94 off just 50 deliveries to help India chase down the 208-run target. It was their highest ever run-chase in the shortest format of the game. The Indian skipper wasn’t in his elements for the most part of his knock. Top edges, inside edges, misjudgement of shots, nearly dragging the ball back on, or arguing with the umpires for no-balls and wides – the 31-year-old appeared all over the place and was just trying too hard without achieving the desired result. However, he still kept hanging on and played what can be described as one of the best innings played while chasing. Kohli took the cricketing fraternity by storm as they couldn’t resist themselves from heaping praises on the Indian skipper. Here are some of the reactions:

Amazing. Just amazing, @imVkohli

Was worth coming to Hyderabad to watch this Virat special. Top hand and bottom, off side and leg, drive and pull....everything. And those two sixes! The bottom handed over mid-wicket and the last one over cover. Breathtaking!
