Over 29.0  

Virat Kohli (IND): They got off to a very good start. We thought we'd be chasing something close to 300; it was a brilliant wicket for batting. The ball was coming onto the bat like a dream under lights and Shikhar and me enjoyed batting together. The last three months have been a great time for Shikhar. The good thing is that he is capitalizing on his purple patch. He can win you games with the way he bats and we would be looking to keep him in that zone dfor as long as we can. I think we need to start planning for the 2019 World Cup around 24 months in advance. We are taking that as a challenge and look to try out different things. You can see a lot of surprises over the next few games. We thought Axar was a gun fielder and felt that one wrist spinner is enough. Also, Axar is a useful batsman and that helps us.
Upul Tharanga (SL): We started well but we did not capitalize after that. Someone should have carried on to get a big one after that. This is what we have been lacking for the last 2-3 years. Everyone hasn't been getting runs for us. At one stage it looked like we would get to 300 but unfortunately we couldn't do it. In the end India played brilliantly. Someone needs to get a big one for us in the future. Even in the bowling, we need to step up.
