Missed 6th bowler; don't have someone like Stoinis, Maxwell: Virat Kohli
NEW DELHI: India skipper Virat Kohli lamented the lack of a sixth bowling option as India conceded 374 runs at the Sydney Cricket Ground on Friday. "Unfortunately, Hardik is not fit enough to bowl, and we don't have other allround options to pick from either, someone like Stoinis or Maxwell," said Kohli.
Except for Mohammed Shami, none of the bowlers could keep the run rate below six.
Kohli said that there was no other option for batsmen except to go after the bowling.
"From the batting point of view, we had a chat briefly now. All the batsmen committed to it which is why you saw us playing with intent. I think we gave ourselves the best chance. Hardik's innings was the best example of that. As a batting unit we committed nicely to positive cricket and we are going to do that in the future as well," he said. IANS
