Later than being awarded the Man of the Match in the post-match presentation ceremony, Virat Kohli gives advice to the young cricketers to not follow his first-half of the innings. Virat Kohli said in the post-match ceremony that “To young batsmen watching, don’t follow the first half of my innings. I was batting poorly at that time. I didn’t want to put KL under pressure but I couldn’t get going. Luckily got that one over from Holder, and then I began to analyze why I’m going wrong. Realized I’m not a slogger but a timer instead, and then changed my playing style”.
