New Delhi: Virat Kohli's breathtaking batting on Sunday in Mohali not just impressed the cricket world but also found appreciation in Premier League football circles.
The Delhi batter stroked a masterful 82-run knock to power India to the semi-final of the ICC World Twenty20.
Under immense pressure for most part of the run chase, Kohli held his nerve to bat right through the innings.
The 27-year-old's knock was so special, it even made Tottenham Hotspur and England star Harry Kane sit up and take note.
The forward took to social micro-blogging site Twitter to applaud the right-hander's effort in a tough situation.
Virat Kohli is some player!In the high pressure situations shows what type of player you are and he does it time and time again! #IndvsAus

Former Liverpool midfielder Dietmar Hamann on the other hand knew exactly what he had missed thanks to the scale of the buzz on social media networks.
Have I missed one of the all time classic knocks? #Kohli

What was @MitchJohnson398 saying about Virat Kohli not being a big game player? Hits 82 to chase down, keep that mouth zipped next time
