"From that point of view, I really enjoyed watching him bat. Apart from that, Chris Woakes and Moeen Ali were in our team (Royal Challengers Bangalore) as well. We had a great time together," Kohli added. On the personal front, Kohli did not have a great time in England four years ago but he is unperturbed with the poor track record.

"Surprisingly or funnily, I don't think from fans' or outside point of view. Even when we came here for the Champions Trophy, that was the first question that was asked and my reply was, I am just looking forward to having a good time here. It doesn't matter whether I get runs or don't get runs," he said. "What I want is the team to play well and the team to win. Obviously you want to perform as an individual."

"But I haven't set any benchmarks or targets and come here to do certain things which have to be special just because the last tour here, I came on didn't go well," he added. The three-match T20 rubber will follow three One-day Internationals. India will also play five Tests against the hosts during the tour.
