It was a professional win: Virat Kohli, following resounding victory over S.A

TIL Desk Sports/ Following a resounding victory over South Africa, India skipper Virat Kohli praised his team for coming out with a highly professional performance in their World Cup opener at the Ageas Bowl.

Playing their first match in the ongoing World Cup, India on Wednesday came out with a brilliant bowling performance as they restricted the Proteas to 227 and then chased down the target with six wickets in hand.

After the match, Kohli admitted the conditions were challenging throughout the course of the game and that’s when his boys stood up to the competition.
