Champions Trophy: Feels Good To Bat In That Manner In An Important Game, Says Virat Kohli
Champions Trophy: After slamming his 51st ODI century in India’s comprehensive six-wicket win over Pakistan, the talismanic Virat Kohli said that he felt good to bat in a solid manner in an important game for his team, where his main job was to control the middle overs against the spinners.
Kohli came in to bat after captain Rohit Sharma fell in the first ten overs and stitched crucial partnerships of 69 and 114 with Shubman Gill (46) and Shreyas Iyer (56) respectively while making an unbeaten hundred off 111 balls, laced with seven boundaries. During his knock, he also became the fastest batter to reach 14,000 ODI runs.
“It feels to be good to bat in that manner in an important game, where a spot for semis was there to be taken, after Rohit fell. My job was clear - to control the middle overs, not take risks against spinners and take on pacers. I was happy with the template, it's how I play in ODIs.”
