Meanwhile, Kohli, who had been dismissed for successive ducks in the first two ODIs, got back among the runs with a valuable half-century.

“Good to be out of the pond, honestly. I am kind of lost. You might’ve played international cricket for a long time, but the game shows you ways,” Kohli said on his series with the bat.

“Almost 37 (years old) in the next few days, but chasing always brings the best out of me, nice to have a big match-winning partnership (with Rohit).”

Opening up on his experience of batting alongside Rohit in the format, Kohli added, “I think from early on, we’ve understood the situation well, that’s what we’ve always done well (as a pair), we’re probably the most experienced pair now, but back in the day when we were young – we knew we could take the game away from them with big partnerships.
