ICC World Twenty20: Who said what about Virat Kohli's batting masterclass at Eden Gardens

New Delhi: Virat Kohli's innings under immense pressure on Saturday will long be remembered by Indian cricket fans.

Despite Men in Blue losing three early wickets, the Delhi batsman did not put a foot wrong during his unbeaten 55-run knock.

The most impressive bit about the Indian vice-captain's knock was that it came on a difficult wicket on which most batsmen seemed to struggle.

Kohli's effort drew praise from cricketers, past and present, across the globe.

From Glenn Maxwell to Mahela Jayawardene, here's what the cricketing fraternity said about the right-hander's masterclass at Eden Gardens.
