    "editor1": "<p>Bengaluru, March 3 (Cricketnmore) Putting the shocking 333-run drubbing in the opening game behind him, India skipper Virat Kohli, on the eve of the second cricket Test here, assured fans on Friday that there won&#39;t be a repeat of such abject failure in the remaining three Tests against Australia.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;We have the belief that we can win this series. I can assure you that everyone is taking this as a massive challenge and everyone is raring to turn things around in this series and play the kind of cricket we all know that we can play, and not take a backward step at any stage,&quot; Kohli said at the pre-match press conference here.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;We know we didn&#39;t play well and Australia did. That doesn&#39;t mean that will happen in every Test match. If you play well every day, every session, then you will win the Test match. We didn&#39;t do that. You will not get to see a performance like that again -- that I can assure you,&quot; he added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.cricketnmore.com\/cricket-news\/top-five-bowlers-in-international-cricket--24380\">Check: Top Five Bowlers in International Cricket<\/a><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The 28-year-old termed the massive loss in Pune as &quot;hurting&quot; as India did not show enough intent, but said sometimes these &quot;defeats are necessary&quot;.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;Sometimes these defeats are necessary. It is very rare that the whole team fails to contribute...Pune was one of those days. Pune was a disappointment because of the way we played, not that we lost but the way we lost. When you don&#39;t have enough intent and you lose the game, that&#39;s when it hurts you.&quot;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;The defeat gives you an opportunity to understand what are the things we need to work on. Sometimes when you win, you don&#39;t focus on everything because somebody or the other steps up. That&#39;s always a good sign. But we cannot take anything for granted at any stage. It was not a setback...these things are also important in your Test journey,&quot; he said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>While he refrained from revealing the playing XI for the second Test, Kohli threw his weight behind new all-rounder Jayant Yadav, who failed to impress on a turning pitch in Pune. Yadav could only manage two wickets and scored a bare seven runs in the match.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.cricketnmore.com\/cricket-news\/michael-clarke-cautions-aussies-ahead-of-bengaluru-test--24374\">Read: Michael Clarke cautions Aussies ahead of Bengaluru Test<\/a><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;Jayant has been outstanding. He has been brilliant, very intelligent. All of us go through the grind. Pune wasn&#39;t his best game, but I won&#39;t judge as he has played too little. He knows how to turn things around and will get back into the zone,&quot; he said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Source - Agency<\/p>\r\n",
