Virat Kohli: We did not deserve to win

Indian skipper Virat Kohli was highly critical of the efforts on the field and in the post-match presentation said, “If you give a good start up the order, one batsman needs to bat through. We couldn’t really carry on. Dinesh was really good in the middle overs but no one got an 80-90 odd. We also couldn’t take our catches which cost us a bit. but we did not grab our chances and when you don’t, you do not deserve to win, especially with the wind and when the batsmen are playing like that.”

Earlier, India threw away a brilliant platform set by their openers, Virat Kohli and Shikhar Dhawan, who dealt in boundaries for the most part of the powerplay as India raced along at more than 10 an over for the first 10 overs. But Kohli and Dhawan’s dismissal put a dent in India's progress, only to be somehow settled by Dinesh Karthik, who scored his highest T20I score of 48 runs. But Kohli felt that India were 20-30 runs short of the expected total.
