T20I: FORMER PAKISTAN CAPTAIN REACTS TO VIRAT KOHLI’S OUTSTANDING PERFORMANCE AGAINST SA 

The 2nd T20I match at Mohali on Wednesday was a spectacular one to watch, Team India was at their best while captain Virat Kohli was brilliant through out his performance.

Kohli, who smashed an unbeaten 72 to lead India to their first T20I win against South Africa, could not stop fans cheering for him. His performance shocked other international players, who sent him congratulatory tweets on social media. 

Soon after Team India's win, former Pakistan captain Shahid Afridi was in all praise of Kohli’s batting against South Africa. He also termed the Indian captain ‘a great’ and wished him success for future.

“Congratulations Kohli! You are a great player indeed, wish you continued success, keep entertaining cricket fans all around the world,” tweeted Afridi after the match. 

Kohli made 72 off 52 balls as India chased down their target of 150 in 19 overs to lead the three-match series 1-0 after the opening game at Dharamsala was washed out.

Afridi's post came as a reply to ICC’s congratulatory tweet for Kohli where the board had acknowledged the India captain for achieving this grand success.

With this splendid performance, Kohli now averages 53.14 in Tests, 60.31 in ODIs and 50.85 in T20Is. 

Congratulations @imVkohli You are a great player indeed, wish you continued success, keep entertaining cricket fans all around the world. https://t.co/OoDmlEECcu
