Twitter Hails Indian Skipper Virat Kohli For Yet Another Match Winning Innings

In his fourth T20I against Sri Lanka, the Indian skipper went onto score his fourth half-century and riding on his innings of 82; the Indian team continued the winning run on a tour of Sri Lanka. The target of 171 was never going to be difficult for the Indian team consisting of big names, but again, the story revolved around Virat Kohli, and he emerged out as the star with the bat and led the team from the front. Though he got dismissed when team India’s was just ten runs away from the target he had already done his job.

India won the game by a margin of seven wickets with four balls to spare.

Talking of Sri Lanka’s innings, after being asked to bat first, Sri Lanka did not have a good start as they lost the wicket of captain Upul Tharanga when the team had just begun to take an upward lift after a quick T20 start. Again, the scoreboard moved ahead steadily, but the wicket of Dickwella meant that the home side again failedย to keep the momentum. Another wicket of Angelo Mathews added to the vows, but Munaweera continued his T20 show in front of the crowd.

The right handed batsman batted played an innings of 53 off just 29 balls, to help his team gets to this big total. Ashan Priyanjan emerged out as the second highest run scorer for his team by scoring 40 runs, but he batted at a strike rate of 100 and consumed 40 deliveries too. The score could have been much higher had he played with a bit more changed style.

India chased down the total at the end, to continue its domination on tour.

Here is what the Twitterati said on Virat Kohli’s innings –
