India knew they had a game on their hands chasing a decent looking 119 on a carnivorous turner. But what hit them wasn't turn. Rohit fell early to Amir in trying to loft him over the top. Then Sami rattled in and struck twice in one over to leave Eden Gardens in trauma and India tottering at 23/3. Pakistan were right on top. They hadn't even introduced spin and had India at their mercy. In walked Yuvraj Singh. A man who has taken a lot of flak, some would say he has been made the scapegoat whenever they lose. Imagine the pressure.
Another opportunity for Dhoni to finish a game and he doesn't miss out. Much needed win for India to get their 2016 World T20 campaign back on track. They were under a lot of pressure on the team after losing the first game to New Zealand and they have responded well. How well is Kohli under pressure and how well he handles pressure! Gee, he's such a player and it was great to see him take responsibility and perform so well.
Virat Kohli is the Man of the Match.
