T20 World Cup: Virat Kohli played a terrific innings vs Pakistan as India had lost both openers-Sunil Gavaskar

Batting great Sunil Gavaskar heaped rich praise on India captain Virat Kohli for playing a terrific knock against arch-rivals Pakistan in their T20 World Cup opener on Sunday.

Former captain Sunil Gavaskar lauded India skipper Virat Kohli for playing a terrific inning against arch-rivals Pakistan under pressure in the ICC Men's T20 World Cup Super 12 clash on Sunday.

Kohli played another high-quality innings against one of his favorite opponents as the India captain led the way with the bat even as Shaheen Afridi put pressure on the former champions by getting the big wickets of Rohit Sharma and KL Rahul cheaply in the powerplay.
