The score is above average: Virat Kohli after the Indian innings

“Well, yes, it was, ahh… A wicket that was a bit tricky to bat in the middle. Rohit and Shubman got off to a bright start. But once they got out, the wicket got a little slower as the ball aged. Rohit and Gill got out around the 10 overs mark. Next, my role was to bat deep and take the innings to the end.

Shreyas and I had a talk in between and we wanted to form a partnership and try to go deeper. That’s what the team management communicated to me, Shreyas played well and we got a few more runs towards the end.

As I said, the goal is well above average. The ball stayed on the surface once it got older. We also have a quality bowling program.

Very confident. Once the ball grows, it slows down and becomes difficult to hit.

I hope we start well with the new ball.”
