Kohli & Raina loft India to victory !




The hour findeth the man and the man today proved to be Virat Kohli. A blistering 118 off 121 balls and India was in the drivers's seat when he left.

India lost Dhawan and Vijay cheap but then Yuvraj with a half century (58) and Kohli with a ton retrieved the situation for India.

Raina's 71 no off 47 balls was simply superb. Tiwari was tied for a while, but then broke the cordon with 2 fours.

A magnificent run chase ! Needing 290 for victory, India finished at 292/5. At one situation, they were 35/2 !

Earlier neither Clarke's century nor the lusty hitting of C White could save Australia. 290 is not a bad score but then the Indians were simply outstanding !
