After facing a humiliating loss in the 2nd T20I against Australian in Guwahati, Indian skipper Virat Kohli their game was not good enough with the bat and that resulted in a loss of eight wickets.

During the post-match presentation, Virat said, “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. But we speak about when the situations are not in our favor is when we have to put 120 percent on the field. It is the attitude that matters most and it is something the team embraces.”

Virat even went on to praises young Australian pacer Jason Behrendorff, who registered magical spell of four for 21 in four overs. He said, “I thought the ball to Rohit was very good. His line and length were very tight. He made us think. Credit to him for hitting the right areas. He definitely had a top class day today.”

On the other hand, Aussies skipper David Warner said his side finally executed the plans perfectly. He said, “Jason has got the height and bounce, he comes from Perth and has the right attitude, which is key. Adam Zampa was fantastic as well. Sending Moises Henriques early was something I spoke about. He’s been effective with Sunrisers as well, and he came and showed his experience. In the beginning, the pitch was softish, quite like an English wicket. But if you got through the new ball, you could score. Hopefully, the crowd gets behind us in Hyderabad.”

The final T20I, which will also be a series decider will be played in Hyderabad on Friday.
