After the match, Kohli praised Jacques’ performance and described his innings as unprecedented. Kohli described Mohit Sharma’s over as important and expressed happiness over the team’s quick victory. “Unprecedented, initially when he (Jaques) came to bat, he was angry that he was not able to hit the ball the way he wanted to,” Virat was quoted as saying by Cricbuzz.
The only thing for him was to stay calm, we know how explosive he can be when he gets going. Mohit (Sharma)’s over was a game changer, I was happy to be around him, I thought we would win in 19 overs, but to do it in 16 overs was absolutely brilliant. As the first innings progressed, the pitch started to get better. Gaya, the ball was coming well on the bat.
