As a fan of Indian cricket team,i lost all my hopes when Srilanka who batted first and posted a huge total of 320 on the board,which India has to chase down under 40 overs to gain a bonus point and stay alive in the series.It's always hard to chase any total above 275 for any team and that too under 40 overs was never easy.
Though the total was huge,Indian batsmen came out with a positive mindset and scored over 9 runs for the first 10 overs which gave India a flyer.When wickets of Sachin and Sehwag tumbled quickly i became hopeless and i thought that india would be losing the match. But,virat kohli the star of the evening proved me wrong by scoring a amazing 133 off 86 balls.
He came at a tough situation and held the innings together with Gambhir,played sensible cricketing shots and kept the score board ticking which eventually helped india to score the runs at a good pace.I was glued to the t.v to watch his enitire innings and kept on watching the highlights again and again as to know how did he score so many runs in very less overs .The answer i found was quite simple,he dealt only in fours and sixes.I still can't believe that india won this match and gained a bonus point keeping alive chances of going into final,thanks to Gambhir and Raina who gave their support for kohli in scoring his knock.
I hope that Team india will get into final and continue to play same in the upcoming matches and get better of Australia/Srilanka(whoever is into finals) and go on to win this triangular series.
Lage Raho Team India
