Virat Kohli smashed a masterful 82 to guide india to a six-wicket win against Australia in their final World Twenty20 Super 10 game on Sunday and set up a semi-final against Wesi t Indies in Mumbai.
Kohli resurrected India with his unbeaten 51-ball knock from a seemingly tricky position as the hosts sprinted home in the end with five balls to spare.
"That performance certainly has to be in my top three but probably it is top right now because I'am a bit emotional," said Kohli.
"A lotr was riding on us playing at home and with the crowd you want to give them as much entertainment as possible."
India's bowlers pulled Australia back from a blistering start to restrict them to 160 for six wickets after Australia won the toss and opted bat first.
Hosts India, inaugural World T20 champions in 2007; and reigning 50-over title holders Australia had won two matches each, with their only loss comiong against New Zealand in the Super 10 stage.
