India could put up only a meagre total of 130 on the board, thanks to some incredible death bowling from Sri Lanka, who then went on to chase down the target with ease.

"Nobody wants to really play bad cricket," MS Dhoni, the losing captain, said. "In front of 40,000 people you don't really want to drop a catch or misfield. It's part and parcel of the game. And we have seen it happen to some of the international athletes, not just cricketers. Let's get rid of it.

"Yuvi tried his best, it was an off day for him, at the same time it is not easy for a batsman to go out there and start slogging."

A gala dinner will be hosted in the UAE ahead of the seventh season of the Indian Premiere League (IPL), instead of the usual opening ceremony. Bollywood actors Shah Rukh Khan, Madhuri Dixit Nene and Deepika Padukone are set to perform at the event.

It's amazing how easy this man makes a chase look, no matter what the situation, no matter what the tournament, no matter who the opponent - when India need a player to stand up and take them to victory in a chase, there really is nobody like Virat Kohli.

In yet another batting master class from India's new superstar, Kohli glided, flicked, stroked, drove and smashed his way to an unbeaten half-century of incomparable proportions, to guide India to a brilliant ICC World T20 2014 semifinal victory over South Africa.

The Proteas would have had visions of an ICC final in their minds after posting a formidable 172 for four in their 20 overs, with captain Faf Du Plessis (58) and JP Duminy (45 n.o.) making crucial contributions and nullifying R Ashwin's outstanding figures of three for 22.

However, India made that daunting scoreboard-pressure target look like a Sunday morning drive, with Kohli's immaculate  72 (44b, 5x4, 2x6), anchoring the chase as the likes of Rohit Sharma, Ajinkya Rahane, Yuvraj Singh and Suresh Raina played around him to great effect, with India reaching the target with five balls to spare, finishing on 176 for four in 19.1 overs.
India cruised into the final of the ICC World T20 2014 courtesy that chaser extraordinaire Virat Kohli, who yet again showed exactly why he is considered to be one of the best in the business.

After being asked to bowl first, India, apart from R Ashwin, struggled to stem the run flow, with South Africa posting a big semifinal total of 172 for four from their 20 overs.

In reply, India got off to a good start thanks to their openers Rohit Sharma and Ajinkya Rahane, before Kohli took over in some style to hand India a comfortable victory, as they finished on 176 for four with five balls to spare - even Dale Steyn could do little as India romped home to setup another ICC final against Sri Lanka.

India will hope for a similar result against Sri Lanka like they managed in the 50-over World Cup final in Mumbai in 2011, which now stands as one of the country's modern day great memories.
