Meanwhile, after the match Kohli opened up about his match-winning knock. He said that he backed himself to play good shots and was also disappointed that he got out to a full-toss delivery. He said:
“It was a tricky one. When it went up in the air, I made sure there was no one close to me. I made sure I grabbed it solidly. I was quite disappointed that I got out to a full toss. I’ve been playing really well. One thing I mentioned to the guys in the change room that 175 was enough on this pitch. It slowed down considerably.”
Further, Virat Kohli also talked about they let slip away last two games. He added: “We did well to get to that score and had the belief it was enough. When I’ve played my best cricket, those are the balls I’ve put away consistently. When I put away their best balls, it puts pressure on the bowlers. We kind of let it slip away last two games. That was a different mentality and phase altogether (T20 WC 2016 semis). I back myself to hit good shots. When they come off they look good.”
