That was a hell of an over from Harshal in the last over - Virat Kohli

Virat Kohli, who played a vital innings for his team, talked about the surface, saying that it's a two-paced wicket with new ball. He also lauded Harshal Patel for his magnificent last over and stated that he bowled a sensational over. He explained:

"Surface was pretty dry underneath, and there was some grass coverage as well. If you saw Faf and me got done by lack of pace off the pitch. There was a two-paced feel with the new ball, which I think is a great opportunity for our bowlers to make early inroads and exploit that swing out there.

"We thought anything over 230 would be a good total here. That was the only mindset. That was a hell of an over from Harshal in the last over otherwise we would've been 250-plus," he concluded.
