Kohli lost the first series after his marriage. Analysing this he said:How many Test matches have we won out of 34? How many have we won? How many have we won? 21 wins (20 actually). Two losses. How many draws? Does it matter? Wherever we play we try to do our best. I’m here to answer your questions, not to fight with you he said.
If we had won this, was this the best 11? We don’t decide the 11 according to results. You are telling me that you could have played the best 11 Kohli stated .
You tell me the best 11 and we will play that
I want to leave everything on the field. That’s the way I play. 150-odd runs (for himself) means nothing now that we have lost the series. If we had won, even a 30 would have mattered more. As a team, you want to win collectively he explained.
We have not come here to play the way we have done. I’m not going to sit here and try to comfort anyone. We need to be hard on ourselves he said.
We need to ask ourselves if we are giving 120 per cent for the team every time we bowl a ball or play a ball or field a ball.
We failed to get a good partnership and take lead. We have let ourselves down he opined .
The bowlers have done the job but the batsmen have let the team down he said.
