READ: After being knocked out of ICC World T20, even Australian cricketers shower praise on Virat Kohli

New Delhi: Soon after their dreams of winning a maiden ICC World Twenty20 was shattered, Australian cricketers were full of praise for Virat Kohli, the man who single-handedly shut the door on them in ICC World Twenty20.

Mitchell Johnson, Steve Smith and Glenn Maxwell, all hailed Kohli's 51-ball 82, which is widely being praised as one of his best knocks ever.

Well to be fair, he definitely stepped it up for this T 20 World Cup. Too good in the end

A seriously good knock beat us last night by @imVkohli what a player. Good luck to the teams in the finals.

Well... That innings was a different level...
Not a lot more to say really...
Absolutely shattered. Beaten by 1 cricketing genius. #toogood
