10 Most exciting batting performances in World T20

10. Virat Kohli 82* v Australia, 2016:

India and Australia faced each other in a do or die encounter at Mohali. Australia batted first in the match and despite a brilliant first 6 overs in which they scored 59 runs, Australia slowly stuttered and reached 160/6 with Aaron Finch top scoring with 43 and Maxwell helping out with a quick fire 31 off 18 balls.

India’s chase was hampered by the loss of openers for not a big score. But Virat Kohli was there and giving the Indian fans belief. Along with Yuvraj Singh and MS Dhoni, he upped the tempo of the innings slowly. Kohli launched the final assault in the 18th over bowled by James Faulkner with 39 runs required in 18 balls. He hit Faulkner for fours and a six. He then hit Coulter-Nile for 4 fours in the next over to seal a win for India.

Dhoni finished the match by hitting a four, but Kohli was the hero of the chase remaining not out on 82 which had 9 fours and 2 sixes in the innings. India knocked Australia out and reached the semis.
