Virat backs Arshdeep

Published on: 

Kohli had comforting words for left-arm pacer Arshdeep Singh, who dropped a sitter of Asif Ali in the 18th over when the game was evenly balanced.

"Under pressure, anyone can make a mistake. It's a big match and the situation was tight. I remember when I first played in the Champions Trophy. Against Pakistan, I remember I hit a very bad shot off Shahid Afridi. Till 5 am next morning, I was only staring at the ceiling, unable to sleep.

"I thought I'll never get a game again, my career is over. So it's natural to feel like this. When the team environment is good then you learn from it and when such an opportunity comes up again, you look forward to it, hoping the ball comes to you.
