ICC T20 World Cup 2016: 5 things to look forward to in the India-Australia clash

#2 Kohli vs Smith - a tale of two geniuses

Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott poses with Steve Smith and Virat Kohli.

The four emerging big guns of the next generation - Smith, Kohli, Williamson and Root - have all put their hands up and performed exceedingly well for their teams. Young and classy, these big guns play with quintessential swagger and take pride in their performances.

Williamson and Root might have taken their teams to the semi-finals but today's game will mark the end of the road for either Kohli or Smith as far as this tournament is concerned. In such a do or die contest, the focus is obviously going to be on these big two to carry their teams forward.

Smith and Kohli are players that their teams heavily depend upon and everyone will be counting on them to perform on the big stage today. Can one outdo the other or will the big occasion get to them?

Kohli will be fired up by Mitchell Johnson's comment and will do his best to avoid an early elimination on home turf. Smith will try to lead the Aussies to their maiden World T20 title. They are men whom the opposition will try to dismiss early. Because in the end, their innings might just be the difference.
