Kohli sparkles as India beat Pakistan to revive WT20 campaign
Kolkata, Mar 20 (ANI): Swashbuckling Indian batsman Virat Kohli helped India survive a top-order collapse and beat Pakistan by six wickets in a tight game on Saturday to revive their World Twenty20 campaign and maintain their impeccable World Cup record against the arch-rival. Kohli's magnificent 55 not out was the difference between the sides in the rain-hit 18-overs-a-side match, coming under tremendous pressure on a prodigiously turning track at Eden Gardens. Home captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni smashed a six to level the scores and took a single to seal victory with 13 balls to spare as India bounced back from their shock opening defeat by New Zealand. Dhoni was all praise for Kohli's stupendous performance which led him to winning the Man of the Match award.
