Kohli Gives Update on Bhuvi Injury

Bhuvneshwar Kumar was forced to leave the field during the 5th over of the second innings due to hamstring strain. And on that captain Kohli says, "Bhuvi's case looks like a niggle, a case of slipping on the footmarks. It doesn't look too serious at the moment and looks like he could recover in a couple of games from now, maximum of three games. But we have Shami with us and it shouldn't be much of a worry for us. Even Bhuvi doesn't think his injury is very serious".

Captain Kohli Sums Up the Win

Captain Kohli sums up the win for India: "To be honest, the pitch wouldn't have made much of a difference. The only factor that I thought was different was that the pitch started turning towards the end of our innings. The template has been really nice in the first three games – Rohit single-handedly winning us in the first game, a team effort in the second and today was Rohit's day again. It allowed me to play a certain kind of role and it allowed Hardik to come and explode in the end. It is going really nicely at the moment. Kuldeep was brilliant, those guys were only trying to play him out. A longer spell helped in that situation and he was getting into rhythm. That ball to dismiss Babar was brilliant. This is the best he has been bowling since coming to England."

On the India vs Pakistan rivalry, Kohli says, "I think they outplayed us in the Champions Trophy final, but apart from that we have played good cricket. We never approach these games from the fans' atmosphere, but as cricketers we need to be professional".

'It's Getting Tougher': Pak Captain Sarfaraz

Losing captain Sarfaraz says, "We won a good toss but unfortunately we didn't bowl in the right areas. Credit goes to Rohit, he played really well. Our plans was to pitch it up but we didn't hit the right areas. We won a good toss but we just didn't capitalize and conceded too may runs".

"I think the ball was turning which is why we picked two spinners, who bowled well, but the Indian batsmen played them really well. We were going really well with the bat as well, but we lost two-three quick wickets in the middle which is when we lost the match."

Pakistan have lost three out of 5 games, and on that Sarfaraz says, "It is definitely getting tougher and tougher but we have four matches and hopefully we'll win all four of them".
