'Thanks big BOSS': Virat Kohli reacts to Sir Vivian Richards' compliments for his 'amazing' match-winning knock vs WI

Team India skipper Virat Kohli rained hell with his bat on Windies bowlers during India's 6-wicket win over West Indies in the first T20I in Hyderabad on Friday (December 6).

Batting first, West Indies posted a score of 207/5 after 20 over with Hetmyer played an entertaining knock of 56 runs off 41 deliveries.

On the chase, Virat Kohli played a captain's knock and remained unbeaten on 94 runs off 50 balls, guiding India to a six-wicket victory with eight balls to spare with KL Rahul chipping in a critical half-century.

A lot for cricket fans were absolutely enacted with Kohli's class oozing knock on the night. Even Windies great Sir Vivian Richards was absolutely delighted watching the Indian skipper bat like a champion.

Viv Richards took to Twitter to laud Kohli for his match-winning performance in Hyderabad. 

“Amazing. Just amazing, @imVkohli,” he tweeted after the match.
