But obviously, Virat Kohli is named the Man of the Match. That's all we have from this match. India will clash with familiar foes, Sri Lanka for the all-Asian final, day after tomorrow on the 6th of April. Until next time, farewell!

Once again after Rohit Sharma fell, Virat Kohli took over the reins and started slowly gathering pace. He was in no hurry, took his singles, masterfully converted it to doubles and then when the run-rate was calling, he started scoring boundaries at will.

South Africa posted a massive 172 on the board after winning the toss and bat first. Thanks to the exploits of Faf du Plessis, South Africa scored at a brisk rate and that had India under pressure in the innings break.

It's South Africa in an ICC semifinal alright but this was no choke from them. This was an outstanding run-chase conducted by Virat Kohli in the easiest of manners. Another chase orchestrated by that man, Virat Kohli. There are no adjectives left to do enough justice to the unbelievably consistent performances that Virat Kohli comes up with.
