We didn’t perform ‘good enough’ with the bat: Kohli

TIL Desk Sports/ Indian skipper Virat Kohli admitted that his team’s performance with the bat was just not good enough during his side’s eight-wicket defeat to Australia at Guwahati’s Barsapara Cricket Stadium on Tuesday.

“Not the performance we wished for. Australia were much better on the day. I don’t think we were good enough with the bat. The wicket was bit sticking to start with. It was difficult for them as well, but after the dew set in, they got away,” Kohli said in the post-match presentation ceremony.

Left-arm pacer Jason Behrendorff’s four-wicket burst sparked an Indian collapse and the Men in Blue could manage only 118 in their allotted 20 overs. Chasing a target of 119, the visitors crossed the line in just 15.3 overs for the series-levelling win.
