After winning the Player of the Match award for his 94-ball 122 knock, batting talisman Virat Kohli stated that he is prepared to return to the pitch on Tuesday and also added that playing Test cricket will aid his recovery and will enable him to play for a third straight day. Just like several of Kohli's previous knocks, this outstanding century against one of his favorite opponents, Pakistan, came with its share of remarkable records. Kohli went from 50 off 55 balls to an unbeaten 122 in 94 balls, smashing 72 runs off his last 39 balls to help India to a huge total in the rain-interrupted Asia Cup Super Four clash against Pakistan. While batting alongside KL Rahul, Kohli was in top form as the duo dominated the Pakistani bowling attack.
In a post-match presentation, Virat Kohli said, "I was pushing for those runs and happy for them, but I was thinking I need to play at 3 p.m. tomorrow."
He further added that, "It is the first time I have done anything like this in 15 years of cricket. Luckily, we are test players, so we know how to come back the next day and play. Recovery is crucial. It was humid out there today. I am 35 in November, so I need to take care of my recovery."
