Virat Kohli produced yet another batting masterclass as India registered a big win in the first T20 International of the three-match series against Australia.

Virat scored an unbeaten 90 from just 55 balls as India posted a huge total of 188-3 at Adelaide Oval. The Australian team started very well, but the Indian spin-duo of Ravindra Jadeja(2-21) and Ravi Ashwin(2-28) triggered a batting collapse in the ninth over at the score of 89-1, as the Aussies lost their last nine wickets for just 62 runs.

Twitter hailed Virat Kohli and Jasprit Bumrah for their amazing performances and trolled Hardik Pandya, who didn’t have an Ideal start to his International career.
