Twitter Reactions as Virat Kohli's genius takes India into the Semi-finals
Yet another run-chase. Yet another Virat Kohli masterclass. Yet another epic batting display by arguably the world’s best batsman. India trumped Australia by 6 wickets and with five balls remaining, and Twitter joined in the party and they went ballistic as India progressed to the semi-finals of the 2016 T20 World Cup.

Nehra is a bowler. He really shouldn't be wearing jersey number: 6 4.
