After losing to New Zealand in their campaign opener, India – winners of the inaugural edition in 2007 – staged a strong comeback, beating arch-rivals Pakistan, Bangladesh and Australia but eventually lost to West Indies in the second semi-final by seven wickets here on Thursday to crash out of the competition.

“Thank You for a memorable tournament. Thank You everyone for supporting us & cheering for us relentlessly,” Kohli tweeted.

The 27-year-old scored an impressive 273 runs in just five innings in the competition to continue his consistent run in the shortest format of the game lately.

The Delhi-lad also single-handedly helped India cross the victory line as he smashed three unbeaten match-winning half-centuries against Pakistan, Australia and West Indies.
