Michael Vaughan gets his revenge on ICC over "King Kohli" tweet.
New Zealand survived Ravindra Jadeja's late onslaught to stun India by 18 runs in a low-scoring thriller on Wednesday and reach the Cricket World Cup final for the second time in a row.
Twice champions India were reeling at 24-4 in their chase for a modest victory target of 240 in what had appeared to be a lop-sided semi-final.
Jadeja (77) partnered MS Dhoni in a century-plus stand but India were bowled out for 221 in the final over and New Zealand will play hosts England or defending champions Australia in Sunday's final at Lord's.
Former England captain Michael Vaughan took to Twitter to troll back the International Cricket Council.

Michael Vaughan posted this picture on his official social media accounts of Indian skipper Virat Kohli, who was dressed up in a royal British outfit, holding a flight ticket from London's Heathrow airport to Mumbai.
And the post was captioned with, " Tickets please @icc :p"
2. ICC shared King Kohli in full glory
)
Earlier last month, ICC posted the cheeky tweet before India vs South Africa match. The illustration shared showed Virat Kohli sitting on a throne with a crown on his head and bat in his hand. A board behind him shows India's previous two World Cup triumphs in 1983 and 2011. Although some fans lauded ICC's gesture, others were left fuming.
