Twitter has really made our lives so much more awesome (if you can discount the abusive trolls), and from time to time, we get to see some epic banter. After yesterday’s match where Mitchell Johnson was trolled for his pre-match comments, Amitabh Bachchan and Andrew ‘Freddie’ Flintoff participated in some epic banter.
Big B wrote on Twitter after the match: “ VIIIIRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATTTTT !! You are simply genius !! @imVkohli you were brilliance times infinity !! Pure genius. Thank you for tonight ! And may many more such nights come our way !!”
Meanwhile, Andrew Flintoff also noticed Kohli’s innings and made in a tongue-in-cheek comment saying: “At this rate @imVkohli will be as good as @root66 one day ! Not sure who @englandcricket will meet in the final now !”
To this the Shahenshah of Bollywood replied: “@flintoff11 @imVkohli @root66 @englandcricket Root who ? जड़ से उखाड़ देंगे Root ko ..!!!”
(Root who? We will uproot Root)
This led Fredie to repy: “Sorry who's this?”
Virat Kohli reduced Australia's bowlers to mere bystanders on Sunday with a masterful 82 that led hosts India to a six-wicket win and a World Twenty20 semi-final against West Indies in Mumbai. The 27-year-old right-handed batsman resurrected India with his unbeaten 51-ball knock from a seemingly tricky position as the hosts sprinted home in their chase of 161 with five balls to spare.
Steve Smith and his men, who had hoped to end Australia's ignominy of never winning the T20 World Cup, could only stand and admire as boundaries flowed from Kohli's bat in front of a packed stadium in Mohali. "That performance certainly has to be in my top three but probably it is top right now because I'm a bit emotional," Kohli said after being adjudged player of the match.
"A lot was riding on us playing at home and with the crowd you want to give them as much entertainment as possible." The Group Two game was a knockout match for both sides and Australia looked well and truly in the driving seat until the end of the 17th over of India's chase. Shane Watson did his part with the ball, picking up 2-23 in his four overs, and also taking a superb catch while running back to dismiss Yuvraj Singh. Sunday was the last international match for the retiring Australia all-rounder.
In Kohli, who now boasts an average of almost 123 in successful run chases in T20 internationals, and captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni, India had their two most potent weapons in chasing down any target.
