Was heartbroken when Australia got to host T20 World Cup: Kohli

Virat Kohli said here on Wednesday that he was heartbroken when he learned that the T20 World Cup was to be played in Australia. After returning to form, Kohli has continued to do well in the World Cup as well. He started his campaign with a fine 82 against arch-rivals Pakistan and played a scintillating knock of 64 off 44 balls against Bangladesh here on Wednesday.

Kohli said after the end of the match against Bangladesh, “As soon as I came to know that the World Cup is to be held in Australia, my heart went to Baghdad. I knew it would be important to play a good cricketing shot. I knew the experience of playing in Australia would be very beneficial for the team.” Kohli scored the most runs in the rain-hit match. India won this thrilling match by five runs. He said, “Today’s match was very close, but not as close as we would have liked. It was another good day at batting.

When I came to the crease, there was pressure on the team. I understood the ball very well. I was feeling good but I don’t want to compare anything. Whatever happened in the past is a thing of the past.” For Kohli, the Adelaide Oval ground has always been lucky for him. He scored his first century in Test cricket at this ground and scored centuries in both innings while making his Test debut as captain two years later. He said, “I love playing on this ground. From the nets to hitting the ground, I feel at home here. The innings played in Melbourne has its own importance but when I come here it feels different and I enjoy my batting to the fullest.
