Whenever it comes to a match between India and Pakistan, it's always like a world war, and today was no different.
Pakistan started amazingly well by winning the toss, and electing to bat. Putting up an awesome total, they really put India under a lot of pressure, as 330 was not an easy target to chase. Indians were holding their breath, chanting prayers, wondering what's gonna be the outcome. Sachin and Gambhir began the chase, and with Gambhir getting out at the very second ball, it was definitely a bad start. Then came Kohli, and thus began an impeccable partnership. Sachin made his half century, and got out with a decent total, and Kohli and Rohit Sharma were left to save India, but by then, Kohli had made it clear that with him still in the game, India had no reason to worry. Kohli and Rohit too, made a brilliant partnership, and Kohli kept on hitting his masterstrokes, making the boundaries seem like a walk in the park, completing not only a century, but almost a double century, and left gracefully with a whopping total of 183 of just 148 balls, with 22 fours and a six! *bows down*
India was just 12 runs away from victory, and that was very easily achieved by Dhoni and Raina, and what followed was crazy celebration, cause India had achieved something that hadn't been achieved till date.
Kudos to Sachin and Rohit for some brilliant cricket, and as for Virat Kohli- you're the future of Indian Cricket! :D I'm sure this day is gonna be sealed in the history of Cricket, forever. :)
Now, let's just hope we make it to the finals. *fingers crossed*
Till then, Happy Cricketing! :) and loads of hugs and kisses to Kohli ;) :D
Loads of Love,
Sayantani Sarkar.
Viral Kohli really won my heart today, and also earned me an impossible Rs 200 on a bet. :P
