Virat Kohli’s one man show of 82 runs led team India to qualify for Semi-final in ICC WT20. Chasing 161, team India seemed the score was quite difficult until the 15 overs. Like most of the times, Kohli paced his innings brilliantly and hit some boundaries and sixes in last five overs to keep team India close to the target.

Yuvraj Singh’s injury meant a lot for team India and here comes Captain MS Dhoni to the crease. Both Virat and Dhoni were very good at running between the wickets and played a mind game in the middle overs.
At this rate @imVkohli will be as good as @root66 one day ! Not sure who @englandcricket will meet in the final now !

Soon after team India won the match against Australia, there were loads of reactions from the cricketing experts, cricketers and fans. Former England cricketer Andrew Flintoff was one of them as he compared Virat Kohli to Joe Root on Twitter.
@flintoff11 @imVkohli @root66 @englandcricket Root who ? जड़ से उखाड़ देंगे Root ko ..!!!

This post of Flintoff made Big B Amitabh Bachchan angry. Thus, he replied saying in Hindi, “who is Root, we will uproot Root“. Like Mitchell Johnson before the game, it was another case of a tweet gone wrong for Flintoff.
