We Are Not Bothered About The Opposition, Says Kohli

Hyderabad Feb 22 : As India and Australia get ready to play the first of the four test match Border- Gavaskar series in Pune from February 23, Indian skipper Virat Kohli at a press conference on Wednesday said that his team his not bothered about the opposition.“We’re not bothered about the opposition, we sure are aware of their skills, positives and negatives but try to focus on our game and plans rather than mulling over them,” said Kohli.

The Indian Skipper also put aside the toughest series tag for the upcoming one against Australia saying that every opposition is treated as same and we take game one by one.“The recently concluded series with England was a tough one also and so as the New Zealand one. We as a team do not rank oppositions as higher or lower and respected all of them. Also, we take games as they came rather than thinking about the whole series,” added Kohli.

Speaking about the preparations, the ace batsman said that the team has put a lot of effort to prepare like any other series and are confident to put up a good show.“The first game against England in Rajkot where we managed to get the draw speaks about the character of the team, the guys showed up when required and that gave us a lot of confidence to perform well whatever the situation may be,” said Virat Kohli.
