In a nerve-wracking do or die encounter with Australia last night, Team India's star batsman Virat Kohli played a historic innings where he asked 82 runs off 51 balls and won the match for India. Towards the climax of India's chase, Virat was well supported by captain MS Dhoni.

In a media interaction that followed India's victory, Dhoni joked that Virat must pay him money for his mistake of making him run frantically by taking two runs whenever he wanted to take a single. Dhoni was spotted panting after taking each run and during the overs break.

Heaping praises on Kohli's knock, Dhoni further said that Kohli demonstrated how to steal runs if one had a runner in front of him. The Dhoni-Kohli duo hit 67 runs off 31 balls and steered India to a historic victory. -

World Twenty 20 match between India and Bangladesh started off as a hight tension match and ended it much more than that. India had that thrilling win against Bangladesh with one run makes its chances to be in final four strong. Dhoni is being praised across the country for his spontaenity and splendid captaincy. May be the match turned towards India, because of the last over by Hardik Pandya which kept us all tensed to core. 

India was resticted to 146 runs for the loss of seven wickets and Bangladesh batsmen almost chased it down, though Dhoni was able to sent 3 crucial batmen off the field. Bangladesh needs 11 runs out of last over and Dhoni called for Hardik Pandya to to finish off the innings. Hardik's first two overs were expensive and still Dhoni was seen explaining a plan to him before that last 6 balls. 

Mahmadullah made a quick single and Mushfiqur tactically stole two boundaries in next two balls putting pressure on Team India. Hardik was then able to send Mushfiqur to pavillion with a catch by Shikhar Dhawan and Mahmadullah too followed him with the nest ball after getting caught by Ravindra Jadeja in deep midwicket. Pandya bowled a wide and Shuvagata Hom tried to steal a single, but Dhoni had a lightening run towards stumps and that was a runout, which ultimately led Team India towards a thrilling one run win against Bangladesh. 

Team India has that habit of keeping that pressure and tension till the last ball, but this match kept us on edge of seats for sometime even after last ball.

India needs to defeat Australia on Sunday to be on top four for semifinals, while Bangladesh lost all the three matches in super 10 leaving them without a chance further.
