“Not as exhausted as I am proud (of the team). It was a top game for us, the wicket is going to get challenging, we saw that yesterday. You are never really out of the game in these conditions. We have more bowling options and those extra bowling options made those impact performances in the middle overs,” Kohli said after the game.
“The wicket was never a belter and our execution under pressure was spot on. It kept getting tougher and tougher with the old ball,” he stated.
