Australia Twenty20 skipper Aaron Finch on Tuesday heaped praise on Virat Kohli, saying it is nearly impossible to stop the Indian batsman once he gets going.
"Virat doesn't seem to hit too many fielders, so it doesn't really matter where you put them," said Finch.
"He is just in unbelievable form at the moment and the wickets are very good. The way he uses his hands, his feet, he is a pretty complete player. When you are looking to restrict his scoring, he can work it into the gaps and he runs hard, always putting pressure back on the bowler. That's what makes him such a great player."
Finch said it was always tough chasing 189 with world-class spinners like Ashwin and Jadeja present in the rival team.
"The wicket didn't change much and it might have spun slightly more. We probably didn't expect that but at the end of the day when you are probably chasing 9-10 an over against world-class spinners like R Ashwin and Jadeja, it is always going to be tough. When you are ultra aggressive against them it favours them. There is always going to be a risk and tonight wasn't the night," he said.
"The run rate was up around 10-an-over like it was for most of the first 12-13 overs. So I felt that it was best to try and attack Ashwin and the other batsmen obviously thought the same. I wouldn't say it backfired. But I had allowed us to get too far behind the run-rate from the start.
"David Warner and Steve Smith were outstanding in their intent and they rotated strike too. I couldn't hit boundaries for a period there, so I take full responsibility for them getting out, as well as Travis Head," said Finch.
Finch admitted that poor fielding let the team down. "Our fielding was the thing that cost us a few runs there and didn't give us that 170-type chase and obviously 18 runs is a lot in T20 cricket. I think that would have been a more manageable total. "It is something that we need to look at, as two games in a row now in two different formats, fielding has let us down. It was just one of those things that's contagious and you just want someone to pull off a half chance, so that everyone is back up and about again," the captain said.
