Virat Kohli played one of the best innings in the history of the T20 World Cups. The unbeaten knock of 82 powered India to a thrilling win over arch-rival Pakistan. India was in trouble but Kohli bailed them out with a spectacular knock and snatched victory from the jaws of defeat. Here are some of the Twitter reactions to the remarkable knock.

After such a close contest, Virat Kohli was evidently emotional as he knelt to the ground and punched the grass in delight before gratefully looking to the skies and thanking the almighty with a raised finger.

“It’s a surreal atmosphere, I have no words, no idea how that happened. I am really lost for words. Hardik believed we can do it, if we stayed till the end. From 28 in 8, it came down to 16 to 6. I tried to stick to my instincts. The first one was back of a hand slower ball (the one over long-on). Standing here I just feel like it was meant to be. Till today Mohali was my best innings against Australia. Today I will count this one higher. Hardik kept pushing me. The crowd has been phenomenal. You guys (fans) kept backing me and I am grateful for your support” said Kohli at the post match interview after receiving his player of the match award.

.@imVkohli, it was undoubtedly the best innings of your life. It was a treat to watch you play, the six off the back foot in the 19th over against Rauf over long on was spectacular! 😮
Keep it going. 👍 #INDvPAK #T20WorldCup pic.twitter.com/FakWPrStMg

Virat’s knock in Mohali in the #T20WorldCup against Australia was probably one of the finest I have seen and this one was probably a notch higher because of the big ground & India being 31-4. Class is always permanent and an outstanding win for Team India in a thriller #IndvsPak pic.twitter.com/HsJ5R0Caqu

Chasing 160, India were in a spot of bother after losing four wickets for 31 in 6.1 overs before Kohli and Hardik Pandya bailed the team out of trouble. The pair added 113 runs for the fifth wicket as the contest went down to the wire, where India held their nerve and got over the finish line, recording a famous victory against their arch rivals.
