Χαίρομαι που βλέπω να κερδίζει η Ινδία

Ο Virat Kokhli δεν έφτασε στο 83ο εκατοντάδες του στο 16 τζόκινγκ.

“Pretty similar to the other day against Pakistan. Just about understanding the conditions and rotating strike, because partnerships are the most important thing. My effort on both days was to do so; when I got out, the plan was to get 20 more and try to finish it off in a couple of overs. Usually, I follow the template, but sometimes you can’t execute it how you want to. The pitch tells me how to play out the innings. The composure at the crease, I was happy knocking ones around. As a batsman, when you start taking pride in hitting those singles into the gaps, that’s when you know you are batting well and settle the nerves down a little bit. That was the most pleasing factor today and against Pakistan. This game is all about pressure; if you go deep into the innings with wickets in hand, the opposition gives in. The game becomes easier. It’s important to control your impulses; for me, it’s important to know the number of overs and runs left. Even if the gap is 25-30 and it comes to six an over, I’m not bothered, as long as we have 6 wickets in hand,” Virat Kohli said after getting the ‘Player of the Match’ award.

“I’m never focused on those things—when you don’t think of those milestones, they happen along the way. For me, it’s about taking pride in the team. If the hundred comes, good; if not, there’s a happy dressing room when you win. For me, these things do not matter anymore,” Kohli added.
