Visakhapatnam: Indian captain Virat Kohli on Wednesday said the way his side have been posting big totals after being put in to bat in the last few one-dayers showed that the team was not over reliant on toss. India scored a massive 387 for 5 after being put in to bat by West Indies with Rohit Sharma and KL Rahul hitting centuries before Kuldeep Yadav topped it up with a hat-trick to clinch a series-levelling 107-run win against the West Indies in the second ODI here. "In the last three games, including the one at Wankhede and first two ODIs (of this series), we've batted well in first half.
Batting second isn't an issue, we're one of the top sides, if not the best, while chasing. As a captain, nice to see the way we've batted first after losing the toss. It shows we're not reliant on the toss," Kohi said after the match. "It's always good to get 40-50 extra and we want to bat the opposition out of the game. Rohit and KL were outstanding, the opening partnership set it up. Shreyas and Rishabh, the way they played, was outstanding," he added.
