Do or die match at Mohali is a chance for the Lion Virat Kohli to roar and he came good in a key game. We can call it a virtual quarter final as Team India was having the home advantage. But the aggressive attitude of Virat Kohli succeeded on a wicket like the one and Team India move to Mumbai to meet the might of the West Indies side. We have a young team but led by an experienced Dhoni and hence odds were favouring India side. Kohli’s track record against Australia was good and in the last three T-20 games and he made full use of the situation to dethrone Kangaroo side with customary side. Indian Team was having an upper hand with sweeping wins and that too chasing a total of 200 in the third match for a 3-0 convincing win boosted their morale and the will to achieve a semi-final berth. The spoils have been shared in a breathtaking match. An outright win helped Team India to move up the ladder despite having minus run rate. More than a do or die game it was also a nail biting one and a successful one for the Indian fans.
