From outside, Virat Kohli’s record-equalling 101 off 121 balls against South Africa on Sunday might look a bit laborious, but Indian captain Rohit Sharma termed the innings as one that suited the conditions and the match situation.
Kohli’s 49th ODI hundred paved the way for India’s 326-5 on a slightly diffident Eden Gardens pitch, which proved way over the par in the end. “If you look at how we have played in the last three games, we have adapted better. Today, we needed Kohli to go out there and play to the situation. We then knew we had to keep it in the right areas (with the ball) and let the pitch do the rest,” said Rohit during the post-match presentation.
