Was Really Tired While Batting At 65: Virat Kohli Reveals

After playing a match-winning knock of 120 runs against West Indies in the second ODI on Sunday, Indian skipper Virat Kohli revealed to Yuzvendra Chahal how the innings took a toll on him. He stated that he felt tired after reaching 65. Meanwhile, Kohli became the highest run-getter against West Indies in the ODI format. He also became the second-highest run-getter for the Men in Blue in the 50-over format. In a video posted by the BCCI, Kohli is seen having a candid conversation with Chahal. “It was important for me to stay at the crease. As a side, we try that one of our top three batsmen goes on to play a big knock. Shikhar and Rohit have done that for us in the past, and today I was able to do it. Honestly, I was tired when I reached the score of 65, but the situation demanded me to work hard for every run,” Kohli told Chahal.
