Legendary Bollywood Actor Amitabh Bachchan praised Indian ace batsman Virat Kohli for his marvellous innings against India. Bachchan said that Kohli has played an inning of his life.
“ Virat Kohli, you have played the innings of your life .. back against the wall, pressure of loss and elimination, and you win !! (sic),” he posted on Twitter.
The right handed Indian batsman knocked an unbeaten 133 as India chased down a mammoth 321-run target in under 37 overs against Sri Lanka in Hobart on Tuesday to stay alive in the one-day international Tri-series.
The mercurial looking batsman displayed some sublime strokeplay and was particularly Sri Lanka’s bowling sensation Lasith Malinga (one for 96), whom he hit for 24 runs in an over, including a six and four boundaries in consecutive deliveries.
Bachchan also praised team India for showcasing an all-round effort.
“Team India shuts out SL and the critics in one fell blow !! Resurgent India - brave, aggressive and confident !! No praise enough !! (sic),” he added.
Indian ace batsmen Sehwag and Tendulkar gave the much needed solid start. Gautam Gambhir and Suesh Raina also made necessary contributions. India now require hosts Australia to beat Sri Lanka in the last group match in Melbourne on Friday to stay ahead of Sri Lanka on points.
