The duo were sensational in the game as after asking to bat first, they stitched up a 94-run partnership, setting India on course to a score of 224 runs in the game. Both Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli smashed centuries in the match as India emerged victorious by 36 runs, winning the game and taking the series as well.
Following that game, Indian skipper Virat Kohli revealed that he will be continuing to open the batting in the T20 format as a preparation for the upcoming Twenty-20 World Cup. The 32-year-old said that he will play as an opener for Royal Challengers Bangalore in IPL 2021.
‘I am going to open in the IPL as well; have batted in different positions in the past. But I feel we have a solid middle-order now. It is about the two best players getting maximum number of balls in T20 cricket. I'd like to partner Rohit at the top and the other guys feel confident when one of us is in,’ said the Indian captain in the post-match interview.
