Kohli noted it was a challenging wicket. "You need new challenges every innings that you play."

Kohli said he was disappointed after getting out in the 20s in India's previous encounter against New Zealand.

"I knew if I had scored 40-45 we could have won. That really hurt because we do not bat like that at home," he said, adding, "Today it was all about keeping calm and luckily I got a great partnership with Yuvraj."
