Anil Kumble told to media “The difference that I saw, at least from his inning against Bangladesh to this….of course, the pitch was slightly better, but even when he sort of blocked against Bangladesh a couple of dot balls, he was sort of shadowing that again after that, but today we didn’t see any of that, “Anil Kumble told on media. “He was just back to the way he bats and that says that the mind space was at ease and, of course, the challenge of playing Pakistan and the crowd, I’m sure sort of helps him lift his game and today we saw him in sublime form.”

Virat Kohli is only the third batsman to score 14000 runs in ODIs after Sachin Tendulkar, who achieved the landmark in 350 innings, and Kumar Sangakkara, who scored 14000 in 378 innings. Kohli got to 14,000 in 63 little innings than Sachin Tendulkar.
