After the game Kohli acknowledged that the team went through a ‘strange’ phase where they went onto lose four successive games.

“If you talk about the first innings I don’t think we had enough runs on the board. We made one helluva game in the second half, the positions we got ourselves into in the second half. But it is a game of margins and if Kane was taken there then it is a different ball game. Altogether they put us under a lot of pressure in the first innings. Few soft dismissals, few fortunate ones for them as well,” Kohli said at the post-match presentation.

“We just didn’t have enough runs on the board in my opinion. Maybe a bit of nerves, bit of hesitation. We had to be more expressive with the bat. We didn’t have any phases where we got away from the opposition. We allowed bowlers to bowl where they wanted to. Didn’t put them under enough pressure. We hit a few balls straight to the fielders in the last 3-4 games. It’s been a strange phase of 4-5 games for us. Tonight, just didn’t have enough.”
