Virat Kohli showed just why he is rated as one of the best batsmen in the Twenty20 format on Sunday.
In a must-win encounter against Australia in the World T20 in Mohali, he came up with an epic batting performance to single-handedly pull off the match and take India into the semi-finals of the tournament.

In his own words, the Delhi dasher pointed to adaptability as key to success in the World Twenty20.
"Adaptability is the key when you are playing a tournament like the World Cup. The teams that do it well with a most calm head are the ones that will go ahead in this tournament," Kohli had told reporters on Saturday.
"It is all about how you adapt on that particular situation. Although we couldn't adapt to conditions in our first match against New Zealand, we came back stronger in the next two games. Every team has the ability to upset any team. We respect every opponent and that is why we were able to come back in the tournament," he added.
