With this loss, India is out of the contest and West Indians have advanced to the finals that will be played at the Eden Gardens against England.
Social media, on the other hand, was on a different high altogether. It had a blast as Kohli scored with the bat and the ball and WI's star batsman Chris Gayle went out early. But the matched slipped away and now that India has lost, everything seems a little less funny.

Today West Indians & Indians will play in West India. May the Best Indians win.
2. God was there at the semis.

8. Little Master.
The best part about Sunil Gavaskar is that he can slow the game and reduce the run-rate just by his commentary. #IndvsWI
