He spoke to Star Sports.
“I think bowling is their strength. They have very good bowlers. They can turn the match anytime with their skills. We have to play our best to face them,” said Kohli.
Kohli has scored 554 runs at an average of 50.36 in the 13 ODIs he has played since December last year. He also explained what he did to get back into the groove after losing his form earlier.
