Virat Kohli's Pyrotechnics did for India
India won by 6 wickets against Australia. India now moves to the second position.
An electrifying crowd of Mohali created positive energy for India to push through the tough situation. That was the comment from Virat Kohli who was unbeaten 82 off 51 balls. His splendid performance helped India win the game against Australia in the t20 world cup 2016. Every game has a new challenge and new solutions are devised on the go to come out victorious.
Australians were at their best raising their score to 160 by Aaron Finch and Usman Khawaja and later by Glen Maxwell. Jadeja and Pandya did help India by restricting the Aussies' run rate and bringing it to 81 of 10 overs. Captain Steve Smith states that they were able to create terrific pressure for India with a good batting show, but in the end, they are always fascinated by the performance of Indian cricketers and how India always plays cricket with passion.
Fitness regime did help in Running between the wickets –
Virat Kohli
Running between the wickets was brilliant. At one stage required run rate was over 12, but they still managed to get 12 runs by just scoring one boundary and the rest running between the wickets. As Kohli states, the fitness regime did help them to run between the wickets for Kohli and Dhoni to take those quick runs. Training sessions and rigorous fitness help a cricketer to run between those wickets, even when they are tired. As Dhoni believes cricket is a mind game. It is more of power than endurance. How quickly you come out of a tough situation without overreacting by keeping calm and just thinking about the right solution – that will alone push you to win the game.

Captain Cool kept Kohli Calm
Yuvraj Singh and Virat Kohli’s partnership was terrific when suddenly Yuvi perished. Yuvi being an explosive player India cannot be playing at 60-70 percent of his capacity. But Kohli focused on what had to be done. Then running between the wickets with captain M S Dhoni accelerated the scorecard. Kohli and Dhoni have always good understanding and they know how to push the fielders to the boundary. In the last two overs, Captain cool kept Kohli calm. That helped Kohli with stunning boundaries and M S Dhoni hitting the winning shot! In the end, Kohli states – "Positive energy from the crowd always helps us push to cross those tough situations and a bit of luck, of course !"
India wants to entertain their home audience as much as possible to the end that they will hold the t20 world cup 2016 – Jeeto Re India Jeeto Re Cup!
A humorous quote from the Internet -
"There is a Chemistry behind this victory – When Potassium Hydroxide (KOH) is added to Lithium (Li), it forms an explosive reagent that can demolish anything and everything that comes in its way……
KOH + Li – KOHLi"
