“It was pretty similar to the other day against Pakistan. It is about understanding the conditions and rotating the strike because partnerships on its pitch are important. It all depends on the conditions and then I play my innings. My timing, my composure at the crease, I wasn’t rushed. The singles that I took was the most pleasing part for me,” Kohli said in the presentation ceremony.
“This game is all about pressure. If you go deep into the game, the opposition usually give in. It is important to control your impulses. Even if the RR is six an over, I am not bothered. [Best he has ever played?] I don’t know. That is up to you guys to break down. I have never focused on those things. When you don’t think of those milestones, they happen. If I get to the three-figure mark, great, but the win is important. For me, those things don’t matter anymore,” he added.
Flick was Kohli’s most productive shot, milking 17 runs off that and scoring only five boundaries in an impeccably controlled knock, where he strung important partnerships with Shreyas Iyer, Axar Patel, and KL Rahul.
