"Yeah, quite impressive, wasn't he? He didn't struggle with the bounce; he got inside those hook shots and pull shots, and then he could whack you down the ground. No surprise, he's a good player. He's done it for a lot of years, and he did that to me in the Nets a lot in Bangalore. So, yeah." Amid this, Virat Kohli breaks Sachin Tendulkar's major records with batting brilliance vs NZ.
