win More satisfying as Smith, Warner and Labuschagne are there: Kohli

Monday, 20 January 2020 | PTI | Bengaluru

India captain Virat Kohli was "very satisfied" with his team's comprehensive come-from-behind series win against a formidable Australian side that had Steve Smith, David Warner and rising star Marnus Labuschagne in its ranks.

"Australia were even better than last time. There's Steve (Smith), David (Warner)and Marnus (Labuschagne). A quality bowling attack, and really intense in the field too. We lost the last three in the last series, and coming back and winning the last two games after losing the first one, is very satisfying,”Kohli said.

"We just want to go upwards and onwards. Getting one back given that we lost the series at home last year is really satisfying,” said Kohli.

The skipper was confident that an experienced side like theirs would pull off a tricky run-chase even in absence of an injured Shikhar Dhawan.

“We are quite experienced, Rohit and I, and we were short of Shikhar's experience. We got a good start. We expect openers of the quality of Rohit and KL to give us starts like that. When KL got out it was a tricky situation. The ball was gripping and turning a bit, and this is where experience comes in,” the skipper, who scored a polished 89, said.
