After winning the Champions Trophy, champion batsman Virat Kohli said on Sunday that his job is not only to win the ICC trophies but also to ensure that when he says goodbye to the game, Indian cricket is in a better position.
India defeated New Zealand with six balls in the final on Sunday. Kohli said after the final, “When you go, you want to leave the team in better position. I think we have such a team that is ready to face any team in the world for the next eight years. ”
Kohli could score a single run in the final but his winning century against Pakistan and half -century in the semi -finals against Australia was important. Kohli told the broadcaster ‘Jio Hotstar’, “It is amazing. We wanted to return after Australia’s difficult tour and win a big tournament. The victory of the Champions Trophy is amazing. ”
Kohli, standing with Shubman Gill, said that as the senior player of the team, his focus is also on preparing the next generation. He said, “There is so much talent in the dressing room and they are trying to take their game to the next level. We are happy to share experiences with them, helping them, and that is why the Indian team is so strong.”
Describing the title victory as the result of the team efforts, he said, “The entire team and all contributed. We are part of a great team and we have worked hard in practice sessions. Shubman, Shreyas, KL, Hardik all performed brilliantly.
