World Cup T20 Semi-Final Showdown Between India VS West Indies
The spot for the second finalist of the ICC World T20 2016 will be finished at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on Thursday when has India tackle West Indies in the highly anticipated second semi-last.
The fight between the two sides to join England — who whipped unbeaten top picks New Zealand on Wednesday by a whopping seven wickets — in the last guarantees to be extraordinary, with both sides gloating of immense batting potential on a Wankhede track that has been caring so far to the batsmen.
While there are several aspects to the rivalry between the two sides that we should investigate, the conflict between batting monsters Virat Kohli and Chris Gayle will without a doubt be the spirit of the match.
The duo, teammates in Indian Premier League franchiseRoyal Challengers Bangalore and friends off the field, are the most discussed stars at the moment.
There are several similarities in the middle of Kohli and Gayle — both enjoy immense popularity in India, have an insatiable appetite for runs, and play winning knocks as a general rule.
But then they couldn't be more different. Kohli's knocks are characterized by classy, reading material spread drives and pulls while Gayle depends on brute force in sending the ball into the orbit.
In addition, the two assume different parts in their batting line-ups: while Gayle gets his side off to a bursting begin and fabricates solid foundation for a major aggregate, Kohli is frequently known not the innings and might stand out forever as one of the greatest finishers ever.
They are in no way, shape or form the sole batting pearls in their teams. While both India and the West Indies have profundity in their batting line-ups, one and only of the units has performed in this way.
In spite of the fact that they've been charged as top choices, India have played with flame in the last three games by depending vigorously on Kohli in spite of having such skilled people as Rohit Sharma, Shikhar Dhawan, Suresh Raina and (now injured) Yuvraj Singh in their positions. It might bring about a serious burn in the semi-last ought to Kohli experiences a rare failure.
On a serious note, disposing of Kohli will be the core mantra of the 'Calypso Boys', and the capable West Indian assault will be training each gun in that exertion. The result won't not end up being altogether different from what was the standard of the Indian team in the 1990s — get Sachin out, and win.
