Kohli was adjudged man of the match for his 167 and 81 in the two innings and he talked about his special relation with this ground where he has always done well with the bat.
“It’s been a lucky ground for me and it remains a special ground, similar feel I get to Adelaide. You want to play exciting cricket because so many people come to watch. They help you through tough situations,” he said.
“There wasn’t much happening in the wicket, but the batsmen succumbed. I knew I was striking the ball well. It was tough but I thought I can take on the England bowlers before they apply pressure on us,” Kohli said when asked about his two innings.
Asked what would be the approach of the team in the next three matches, he said, “We’ve been playing some really good cricket in the first two Tests . We don’t want to be complacent but don’t want to be desperate either. We respect England. We want to continue with this nice momentum. Our approach will be a right balance of not being desperate and not too much of relaxation.
