Virat Kohli has been hailed a “genius with the bat” after his superb innings helped India beat Australia to reach the semifinals of the World Twenty20.
Indian commentator Prakash Wakankar said Kohli can take over the retired Sachin Tendulkar’s status in the team.
27-year-old Kohli is becoming a master of the run chase, averaging 91.80 when India bat second in Twenty20 internationals.
His 184 runs in four matches makes him third highest scorer in the tournament so far with an average of 92.
Meanwhile, the semifinals of the World Twenty20 are confirmed with New Zealand to meet England on Thursday at 1.30am while India will play West Indies at 1.30am Friday.
New Zealand is the only team that is unbeaten in the tournament.
