Colombo, Oct 1: Pakistan captain Mohammed Hafeez on Sunday night praised Indian batsman Virat Kohli for his superlative performance.
“He (Kohli) is in the best form. I haven't seen anyone in the form he is at the moment.”
Hafeez said Pakistan struggled to get going from the start.
“We couldn't set the total we really wanted. There is no doubt Virat was excellent today. I thought if we got him out we could put pressure on the other batsmen but we couldn't. We really wanted to win the game. But unfortunately we were losing wickets on a regular basis. We couldn't come back in the last 10 overs,” he said.
Team India captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni praised his bowlers for their performance after getting a drubbing from Australia a few days ago.
“Today's performance was a really a good one because the part timers contributed, the spinners bowled well and also the fast bowlers,” Dhoni told reporters.
“The first two overs we gave away bit of runs. But after that I felt we were quite consistent.”
