It was an all-round display and I am very happy,&quot; Kohli said after India&#39;s 26-run win via via the Duckworth-Lewis method.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nAfter posting 281\/7 on board batting first, India restricted the tourists to 137\/9 in 21 overs chasing a revised score of 164 after rain interrupted play.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\n&quot;We spoke at the toss to post a good score. We didn&#39;t have the ideal start. This is a pleasing win because we were in a tough situation. M.S. (Doni) and Kedar (Jadhav) played well early, Hardik (Pandya)&#39;s innings was fantastic. And MS finished off the way he does,&quot; Kohli said.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\n&quot;Today was an example, Sri Lanka was an example, how good they can be. The bowlers were outstanding as well. It&#39;s just a matter of giving players the confidence.&quot;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cricketnmore.com\/cricket-special\/top-10-most-beautiful-women-cricketers--29586\">Top 10 Most Beautiful Women Cricketers<\/a><\/p>\r\n\r\n<div style=\"page-break-after: always\"><span style=\"display: none;\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/div>\r\n\r\n<p>On Pandya who smashed a career-best 83 off 66 balls, and starred with the ball, picking the key wickets of Australia skipper Steve Smith (1) and Travis Head (5), Kohli said: &quot;He (Hardik) believes in himself. That is the key in international cricket. Hardik&#39;s innings was the game-changer. He is smart with the ball as well.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nKohli lauded the spinners as well. Chinaman Kuldeep Yadav took two wickets while leggie Yuzvendra Chahal scalped three.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\n&quot;Great performance from them (spinners) today. Chahal has always been brave ever since I have seen him.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\n&quot;Hats off to them. Bhuvi and Bumrah were clinical - our bank bowlers. I would like to give a lot of credit to those young bowlers. The game was shortened. These are the best four Indian bowlers in the IPL.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\n&quot;They are very consistent and their economy is low. We couldn&#39;t have had a better combination. We were quite relaxed at the break.&quot;<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nIndia would look to carry forward the momentum in the next game at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata on Thursday.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<hr \/>\r\n<p>IANS<\/p>\r\n",
