Virat Kohli scored magnificent 89 and also took a wicket. He is a HERO!



"Hats off to West Indies. It's not easy chasing 190 in a semi-final game," says Sourav Ganguly.  
West Indies have proved they are not a one-man team. Lendl Simmons (82* off 51) and Johnson Charles (52* off 26) were splendid in chase of 193 after Chris Gayle's early exit. India were not disciplined on the field.  Free-hits, sixes, they didn't play like a team who deserved to be in the final. However, the Caribbeans were on top of their game and blew India away.  
It was difficult for the Indian spinners as well, there was a bit of dew on the field. Ashwin was not up to the mark on the big night. Dhoni had to bowl out his specialist bowlers early on. MS Dhoni didn't look convinced after he lost the toss. Not India's day today. 
Virat Kohli's heroics are in vain now. Ajinkya Rahane, at the mid-way point, said they were 10-20 runs ahead of the par score. But it was West Indies whom they were facing. Rahane himself slowed it up for India in the middle. They still had eight wickets but Rahane scored at 114.90 facing 35 balls in the innings.
