India wins by six wickets on a difficult surface

I bowed down to Sachin Tendulkar in the stands. I started playing cricket due to him - Virat Kohli ! 

Virat Kohli has a sense of timing — both when stroking the ball from the middle of the willow or conjuring an innings of substance and quality when his team needs it.

With India under immense pressure at the Eden Gardens on Saturday, Kohli’s equanimity complemented his stroke-making ability. On a surface that tested a batsman’s technique and footwork, Kohli’s classical batting in a slam-bang format nailed the chase for India.

Kohli was unbeaten on 55 as India, pursuing 119 against Pakistan in 18 overs on a tricky wicket in a rain-reduced match, eventually romped home by six wickets with more than two overs remaining.

After the disastrous outing against New Zealand at Nagpur, India’s campaign in the ICC World Twenty20 is now back on track.
