From Sachin Tendulkar to Amitabh Bachchan: Twitter celebrates India's T20 series win in Australia

Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli maintained their prolific form with the bat to secure India's series-clinching 27-run win over Australia in the second Twenty20 match at the Melbourne Cricket Ground on Friday. Man-of-the-series in India's 4-1 defeat in the one-day internationals, Rohit hit a 47-ball 60 at the top of the order to give the touring side a fast start along with partner Shikhar Dhawan (42). India, who were put in to bat, rode an opening stand of 97 to reach 184-3 in their 20 overs with Kohli providing a late assault in a strong top-order performance with a swashbuckling unbeaten knock of 59.

Kohli, who smashed an unbeaten 90 in India's 37-run win in Adelaide on Tuesday, hit seven boundaries and a six during his 33-ball knock. India recorded their first ever bilateral series triumph on Australian soil as they clinched the Twenty20 rubber by taking an unassailable 2-0 lead with a comprehensive 27-run victory in the second match, riding on an all-round show. Put in to bat, India relied on brilliant innings by Rohit Sharma (60) and Virat Kohli (59), along with a useful 42 by opener Shikhar Dhawan, to post a formidable 184/3. Defending the target, the Indian bowlers put up a fine collective effort to rip through Australia's middle order and restrict the hosts to 157/8 in 20 overs. The India ns thus took a 2-0 lead in the three-match series, which ends on Sunday in Sydney. Here's how Twitter reacted to the victory:

Seen many keepers, but none better than Dhoni when it comes to whipping the bails out in a flash. No wonder he has the record now.
