Kohli who was pleased with his team’s performance after Australia defeated them 3-2 in an ODI series last year. During the press interaction, Kohli said, “A top, top win for us after losing that series in India. We had a point to prove. We came in with intent right from ball one. The opening partnership was outstanding. It was an outstanding effort with the ball on a good batting track. You have to bowl well. You can’t take things for granted just because you have 350 on the board.”
