TIL Desk Sports/ India skipper Virat Kohli today described his team’s emphatic win over England as one of the “sweetest” in recent times. India today removed the remaining four England wickets in the morning after they had resumed their second innings at 182 for 6 to script a massive win, which also helped the hosts to grab an unassailable 3-0 lead over the visitors in the five-Test series.
“It’s a very special feeling. The way the crowd came out here and supported it helped us push through the tough moments. I’m very grateful that it came off for us. This series win is probably the sweetest we’ve had in recent times,” said Kohli. Kohli, who was adjudged the Man of the match for his double ton, said the moment India had taken a huge first innings lead, they knew it was just a matter of time.
“The 231-run lead deflated the opposition, we saw their body language and knew the game was wrapped up when we had that lead,” he said. The 28-year-old said he was a bit nervous ahead of the match but setting realistic targets helped him as he blasted 235 — his third double hundred this season. “We haven’t played on Indian wickets with too much bounce so the adjustment was very important. The plan was to get stuck in, I got away quickly,” Kohli said.
