Virat Kohli’s T20 international batting is simply outstanding

Hosts India squeezed into the semi-finals of the ongoing ICC Twenty20 World Cup largely thanks to a sensational innings from their star batsman Virat Kohli, who hit 82 off 51 balls, without losing his wicket, to take India past Australia and eliminate their opponents in the process.

In doing so he scored more than half of all India's runs for the match — having almost managed the same two games earlier, scoring 46 per cent of the team's total in another crucial win, this time against Pakistan.
