Bowlers created pressure and got breakthroughs at crucial moments, says Kohli 

INDIA SKIPPER Virat Kohli attributed the 93-run victory over West Indies in the third ODI to a clinical performance by his side. After posting a target of 252, the visitors bundled out Windies for 158 in 38 overs.

Speaking at the post match presentation ceremony, Kohli mentioned that the hosts did a good job with the ball.

“I think it was a clinical performance again. Early on there was quite a bit of moisture, it was a good toss to win, and they bowled really well. It was a good batting effort to get us to 250.”

Chinaman Kuldeep Yadav finished the match with three wickets yet again while offie Ravichandran Ashwin also got as many. Also, Hardik Pandya picked two while Umesh Yadav and Kedar Jadhav picked one each. 

Kohli stated his bowlers put pressure on the Windies batting line-up and got breakthroughs at crucial moments.

“The wicket played much better in the second innings. The bowlers created pressure and got breakthroughs at the right moments. It’s about putting your hand up at the right time, its about how many people can stand up and put in those performances.”

When asked about team’s approach in the forthcoming games, the 28-year-old added,

“We’ll surely look into [making changes]. We have quite a few players who haven’t had a game in a while.”
