Updates and details for ICC World T20:Kohli Says he Almost Lost Hope After 10 Overs Versus Australia:

Virat Kohli celebrated after India won the match against Australia and entered to ICC World T20’s Semifinals. Kohli scored 82* runs in the 51 balls and helped India to qualify for Semifinal.

After 10 overs against Australia of ICC World T20, Virat Kohli was feared about that India will be out of the game and he has no idea that how he and MS Dhoni will manage to achieve the target.

Kohli said, “It virtually felt like you were out of the tournament at the end of 10 overs. To pull the game back after that along with MS Dhoni – I don’t know how we did it. Even out there in the middle, I didn’t know how this was happening. I am just grateful that I was able to do it for the team.”

He also added that “It was a pretty emotional feeling when I saw Dhoni hitting the winning runs. I don’t really know what to say. That is the reason yo play the sport. That is the feeling that you crave as a sportsperson. It is such a wonderful moment for your team. To see your teammates celebrate and get happy is a wonderful feeling.”

Kohli told these innings has to be in my top three and he has never played an innings in a situation where 39 runs were needed in the last three overs. So he said, “I have never played an inning like that where we needed 39 off three overs and I have been able to pull it off with MS Dhoni batting at the other end.”

Virat Kohli has burnished his reputation as arguably the best chaser in limited-overs cricket and reminded Tendulkar’s 143 against Australia in a 1988 one-dayer at Sharjah.

He said that “The slower balls were holding up. It was very important to stay in the moment and pick your gaps. It was a quick outfield, so I knew if I could beat the fielder inside the ring, I would probably end up getting four runs.”
