India 176/4 in 19.1 overs - Kohli 72*, Rahane 31; Hendricks 2/31


"Today was the day I had to keep my cool. It was about sticking in there and believe in myself. I backed myself. I was facing a world class attack. I look at overs and runs, instead of Balls and runs to keep myself cool. Raina's knock in the end was a game changer as well. I had in mind and I wanted to finish in the 19th over. Once we took care off the pressure, we did not want to leave it to Dale Steyn and the last over. I was not feeling too good before this game, it was good to get out in the middle and get a go. I am looking forward to be in the finals" - Virat Kohli (Man of the Match)
