Top 10 cricketing tweets of the year

8. Amitabh’s tweet after Virat Kohli’s 94 takes India home against West Indies

In the first T20I against West Indies, India were chasing a stiff target of 208. The famed West Indian batting line-up lived up to expectation and put on a huge score. India didn’t get off to the best of starts as Rohit Sharma was dismissed early (for 8) and they were 30/1.

That’s when skipper Virat Kohli joined KL Rahul in the middle. The latter was going well but Kohli struggled to find his flow. Rahul kept the scoreboard ticking and kept finding the boundaries as the Indian skipper reached 20 off 20 and later, 26 off 25 balls. However, Kohli top-edged a six off Jason Holder and then a couple of overs later, Rahul was dismissed. That got him going.

The Delhi lad was in the zone and belted the bowlers around. He was involved in an intense battle with Kesrick Williams as well. In fact, Kohli mocked the pacer’s notebook celebration after smashing him for a six. Kohli pulled India through and took them home with a fine knock of 94 not out.

Amitabh Bachchan who is an active Twitter user tweeted a famous dialogue from his old movie, Amar Akbar Anthony. It went viral on Twitter and also drew a comment from Kohli himself.
