New Delhi, April 1: Though India lost against West Indies in the ICC World Twenty20 semi final, but everyone including the experts lauded Team's star batsman Virat Kohli for his amazing performance in the match.

Title aspirants India were knocked out of the ICC World Twenty20 with a heartbreaking seven-wicket defeat at the hands of West Indies, who capitalised on the home team's sloppy bowling display in a high-scoring semifinal showdown.

Put into bat, India rode on in-form Virat Kohli's blazing unbeaten 47-ball 89 to notch up a challenging 192 for two, but the spirited Caribbean chased down the total and made the final with two balls to spare, leaving the capacity crowd at the Wankhede Stadium completely stunned.
