Visakhapatnam, Dec 19:<\/strong> West Indies captain Kieron Pollard doesn't have any clue why his Indian counterpart Virat Kohli is "so animated" in the ongoing series.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

During the T20I series, Kohli's imitation of Kesrick Williams' 'notebook tick' celebration was 'television gold', and then he seemed agitated when on-field umpire Shaun George referred Ravindra Jadeja's run-out in the first ODI in Chennai.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

And in the second ODI, Kohli, who got dismissed for a first-ball duck, was very animated after Pollard's first-ball dismissal.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

"You have to ask him why he is so animated. I can't answer that for you. It is what it is. You ask him that question and let him answer that. I don't know. I have no clue," Pollard said at the post-match press conference.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

On Wednesday evening, India defeated West Indies by 107 runs to level the three-match series. The hosts, put in to bat, rode on brilliant centuries from Rohit Sharma and K.L. Rahul to post a gigantic 387\/5. They then restricted the West Indies to 280 and won the match by 107 runs.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

During the chase, the visitors were 192\/3 three in the 30th over, but lost five wickets for 18 runs to eventually concede defeat.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

"We were in a good position and if you lose wickets frequently, you put yourself on the backfoot. That's where we faltered in the chase and we accept that," Pollard said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

"Chasing 388, guys had to go out and express themselves, rather than trying to get in. I thought, where the game changed was in last 10 overs (of Indian innings), we went for 127 runs, that's where we lost the momentum in the entire game.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

"Before that, it was neck and neck and we knew it was a good track. We haven't really executed (our plans) in the back-end which has been really the storyline for us when there has been a flat track," he added.<\/p>\r\n", "image": "https:\/\/img.cricketnmore.com\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Virat-Kohli-and-Pollard.jpg", "alt_img": "Virat Kohli and Kieron Pollard", "alt_title": "Virat Kohli and Kieron Pollard", "image1": "", "video": "", "seo_title": "Have no clue why Virat Kohli is so animated: Kieron Pollard On Cricketnmore", "seo_desc": "Visakhapatnam, Dec 19:\u00a0West Indies captain Kieron Pollard doesn't have any clue why his Indian counterpart Virat Kohli is \"so animated\" in the ongoing series.
