I would like to compare Yuvi's knock of y'day to that of WT20 2007 vs England 1.His assault in the penultimate(19th) over was the decisive over in both matches.(6 sixes vs Broad and 3 sixes vs Ajmal) 2.His knock included 7 sixes each in both matches 3.Y'day knock saved India from series loss while 2007 knock helped us to remain in the tournament. 4.72 y'day became his best T20 score till now while 58 was his best knock till that date 5.India won both high scoring matches and Yuvi who made the huge difference in both closely fought contests declared MOM
best tailor made pitch for indian team to win against any team with poor bowling and smash battings else we have many reasons to loose.. hehehhe (eg. WC2011 Quarter final, 1st Test against ENG and now the T20..)gujju manus paisa vasul..

poor bowling..? till yesterday pakis bowling were termed as world class..now they are called poor bowling..IndiA won only because of the brave hearted UV..and full marks for some sensible bowling by Dinda and amazing ground fielding..
minus yuvraj's knock India would have easily lost the match. It is now very clear that India team winning in any form of cricket is going to be difficult and rare.
Yuvi was decent but Hafeez was a master class. He almost single handedly won the match for Pakistan. Yuvi was lucky that his running out Kohli did not play on his mind. On the contrary Hafeez was picture perfect calmness personified. India better watch out for him & Ajmal who is going to be a different kettle of fish once the ODI's begin.

agreed UV was playing his heart out, but when Hafeez started his innings with a flurry of fours we all thought that the pakis are their way to big victory..full marks to HAFEEZ. you better watch out for him in ODIs..and also ajmal. a very dangerous bowler. but our opening pair of ANINKYA / GOUTAM is proving to be fruitful..
Kohli should show some respect to great cricketers like Yuvraj. His behaviour in the direction of Yuvraj after the run-out was quite disrespectful, and un-called for. Gavaskar has recently been advocating the cause of Kohli as captain. That would be a huge mistake in the light of the temperament that was on show today - this isn't under-19 cricket anymore, we are talking of captaincy of India! Should Dhoni relinquish captaincy, Yuvraj deserves it more than anyone else in the shorter formats of the game.

kohli is arrogant needs mental help as this type of anger is no longer useful at this level of profession game learn how zahir khan ontrolled his anger and channelised his anger after he was shocked by chewing gum in england tour least bothered about about insult the britishers did zak made mirracle while bowling reverse swing how ever this tour of england zak failed miserably and instead of kicking out sachin dhoni and sehwag and gambhir the mad selectors sacked khan and son of sarder after kolkatta test lost the real master mind of mumbai test is rahane ajinkya dropped easies catches at wankhede his home ground just compare superman michel johnson scoring 92 knock and taking wickets in melborne test and sehwag dumping himself after ahamadbad test century mumbai kolkatta and nagpur sehawag did less than average performance except 49 knock so also gambhir run out smell spot fixing as gambhir home was raided by CBI immediately after gambhir scored 75 runs superb knock against parkistan at 2007 t20 final so it is high time to rest indian openers sehwag and ganbhir and ask wasim jafar and ashin to open test innings for test india i feel BCCI must make it performance all fields of game criteria for beeing in team like if a player like rahane drop easies catches the drop him for next test ask him to serve water for team at no. 13 not 12 so team as a group fail when some easies loolypop catches are dropped as in mumbai test and kolkatta test so fielding coach must pull ears of all?

Little bit of arrogancy is must for success, some show it others hide it. Kohli is no doubt a GEM for Indian Cricket now.
