Interesting Post match quotes from Virat Kohli after a tense finish

Post-match quotes from Virat Kohli

On England’s spinners performing better than Indian spinners:

“I don’t think so. They bowled well but it’s not that they outperformed our spinners. It’s not that they took five-for and totally turned around the game. They should have won the game if they outperformed our spinners”

 

On playing the catching up game throughout:

“I thought Ashwin was batting really well, he scored a lot of runs for us this year, so also Saha. Those two are confident. Plus Jadeja’s home ground. So we backed him to get a few runs for us. That gave an opportunity to play Mishra, an extra spinner. So at least, we had all our bases covered. With five batsmen, we ended up getting close to 500 and even batted out the second innings as well. Again, it gives us belief as a batting unit.”

 

On Alaistair Cook:

“He’s a quality player, we all know that. he has played over 100 Tests and scored over 10,000 runs, so you don’t take a guy like that for granted. But we don’t focus on things that have happened in the past, we believe that we can get any batsman out on the surface we’re playing on.”
