    "editor1": "<p><em>Sydney, Nov 25 - After India defeated Australia by six wickets in the third and the final Twenty20 match at the Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG) to level the rubber 1-1, skipper Virat Kohli felt his bowlers did a commendable job on a tough wicket.<\/em><br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nKohli, who struck a brilliant half-century to ensure India overhaul the 165-run target in time, also lauded openers Rohit Sharma and Shikhar Dhawan&#39;s effort.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nSignificantly, Rohit (23 off 16 balls) and Dhawan (41 off 22 balls) were involved in a 67-run partnership to provide the India a solid start.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\n&quot;Things become pretty easy when those two (Shikhar and Rohit) guys do the job for us. We thought the wicket slowed down with the old ball. That&#39;s how T20 cricket goes,&quot; the Indian skipper said after the match.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\n&quot;When our openers get into the zone they&#39;re difficult to stop,&quot; Kohli, who played a crucial 41-ball 61-run knock on Sunday, expressed adding: &quot;Overall, skill wise, we were better on the day than Australia.&quot;<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nThe 30-year-old also praised his bowlers for restricting the hosts to an achievable total.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\n&quot;With the ball, we were more professional today. I thought it was a 180 wicket,&quot; Kohli pointed out.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nMeanwhile, an elated Krunal Pandya, who returned with his career best figures of 4\/36 after being hammered for 55 runs in first game at Brisbane, said: &quot;Obviously it feels really great to contribute in a winning side. I had to back myself after that first game. It feels good to overcome those type of hurdles.&quot;<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\n&quot;The best part of team India is they back all of the players whether you are doing well or poorly,&quot; Krunal, who was also adjudged Man of the Match, added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<hr \/>\r\n<p>IANS<\/p>\r\n",
