Bengaluru, Sep 23: India skipper Virat Kohli said the team wanted to get out of their comfort zone and that's why he chose to bat first in a bid to get a big score in the third and final T20I, which the Men in Blue lost to South Africa by nine wickets.

On Sunday evening, India surprisingly chose to bat at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, a ground which is known for big chases.
