We need to focus on our concentration and discipline,” Virat Kohli said on Star Sports’ Follow the Blues. So you have experience of playing according to the conditions and we can’t expect the Oval court to play the way it always does so we have to adjust and adapt, we’ve only got one game on a neutral ground so even better of the same stick will win the match”.
King Kohli further said: “That’s the beauty of the World Test Championship, two neutral teams without home advantage, so it will be very exciting to see how the two teams adapt to the conditions.”
