Virat Kohli’s unbeaten 61-run knock helped India secure a six-wicket win against Australia in the third and final T20 International (T20I) in Sydney on Sunday. Virat Kohli played a crucial knock, helping India draw the three-match T20I series 1-1. Australian wicketkeeper Alex Carey hailed Kohli’s performance and said that the hosts will be able to stop Kohli from scoring in the Tests.
“He obviously played really well – he was put under a little bit of pressure towards the end but they started well in the powerplay and it was hard to peg them back. We’ve seen him do that before and he did it again tonight. Hopefully, in Tests, it will be a different story – we’ve got some good pace bowlers and Nathan Lyon. It will be a really good summer of cricket ahead,” said Carey.
Talking about the third T20I, Carey said, “It was a competitive target, probably like Virat said 180. They like chasing. They chased that really well. They got off to a flyer in the powerplay and it’s hard to peg them back.”
“There were some really positive signs. We don’t like losing. There was an opportunity there. We got close but a really good side got them tonight,” he added.
