Speaking on his YouTube channel, the former cricketer said, “The batting was outstanding. When your opener scores above 160, you can’t really question the pitch. And the way Ashwin batted in the second innings using his common sense was superb. But the man who batted the best in the match was Virat Kohli. His footwork exemplary, concentration was very good on a difficult track. It felt like a Rolls Royce was batting in the middle.”

Indian opener Rohit Sharma scored a century in the first innings while local boy Ravichandran Ashwin slammed a century in the second innings and took five wickets in the first innings to take the Man of the Match.
