Another masterful chase from Virat Kohli got the Twitter world talking

Among the first to congratulate Virat Kohli was his idol and the man many Indians are beginning to compare Kohli with.

And Kohli convinced at least one of his doubters.

Well to be fair, he definitely stepped it up for this T 20 World Cup. Too good in the end — Mitchell Johnson (@MitchJohnson398) March 27, 2016

Was there anyone better at hunting down targets?

No question @imVkohli is the greatest ever judge of a chase I have ever seen ... Cool as you like .. #Timing #Genius #INDvAUS — Michael Vaughan (@MichaelVaughan) March 27, 2016

Weren't you supposed to slog in T20s?

Kohli played five majestic cover drives to win it. Classical skill & technique will ALWAYS win cricket matches, any format, any opponent — Ed Smith (@edsmithwriter) March 27, 2016

The praise poured in from team-mates...

... and others.

Some had to rework their all-time XIs.

There goes my boyhood hero GR Viswanath from the All Time India XI. It now reads Sehwag, Gavaskar, Dravid, Tendulkar, Kohli... — Ramachandra Guha (@Ram_Guha) March 27, 2016

Others brought up sport's (at least football's) favourite challenge.

Can he do it on a rainy day in Stoke tho? #kohli #wellplayed — Reece JW Topley (@reece_topley) March 27, 2016

Australia's captain agreed his team was taken down by a masterful innings.

Smith: "That was a pretty serious innings, under pressure, hit everything off the middle, and in the gaps"https://t.co/hg4xAnCl3B #WT20 — ESPNcricinfo (@ESPNcricinfo) March 27, 2016

Going by his record and form, you can be confident Kohli can chase this down too, sarcasm or not.

At this rate @imVkohli will be as good as @root66 one day ! Not sure who @englandcricket will meet in the final now ! — andrew flintoff (@flintoff11) March 27, 2016

The way he is playing, a former team-mate thinks India could win the World T20.

I Have a feeling!! This might just be @imVkohli 's world t20. That was masterclass. Take a bow bud!! Kudos!! — Robin Aiyuda Uthappa (@robbieuthappa) March 27, 2016

But, for that to happen, India's other batsmen would need to step up.

Virat is just addicted to greatness. His performance today should inspire the rest of the batsmen to raise their game. Bowling was excellent — Ambati Rayudu (@RayuduAmbati) March 27, 2016
