Virat Kohl after Champions Trophy win: We have a squad ready to take on the world for the next eight years

“When you go, you want to leave the team in a better place, I think we have a team that is ready to face the world for the next eight years,” Kohli said during the broadcast after the match. “Shubman [Gill] was exceptional, Shreyas [Iyer] Beautiful, Kl [Rahul] finished the games, and bold [Pandya] was superb with the bat. “”

Kohli said the triumph of the Champions Trophy had somewhat compensated for the loss of the India test series in Australia. “It was incredible. We wanted to bounce back after a difficult Australian tour, and we wanted to win a big tournament, and we ended up doing it. So it’s an incredible feeling.”

Standing next to Gill during the celebrations, Kohli was invited to his reflections on the leash a better place where he will eventually end. “There is so much talent in the locker room,” he said. “They try to take their game further and we [seniors] are just happy to be helped, to share our experience and that is what makes this Indian team so strong.

“These are the things you want to play [titles]Play under pressure and put your hand. The whole team, everyone has sometimes raised their hands during the tournament. Everyone has implemented impactful performances, we were part of an incredible team, the amount of work we have done during training sessions is great. “”

Kohli had words of appreciation for New Zealand. “Incredible, we have always been impressed by what they can do with the limited number of players they have had over the years, and simply maximize their talent,” he said. “Whenever we play against them in the big games, we knew that they were going to come with a defined plan. No team in world cricket is carrying out plans as well as they do.

“Each defensive player knows where the launcher will play, you can feel it, they all attack the ball, they know that the launcher will be precise. Credit is the most coherent team in the last tournaments. Reason is the immense belief in his skills, and the quantity of talent they have used as much as possible.

“They are easily the best field field in the world, a huge cry. They continue to show why they are one of the best world teams. [Kane Williamson] On the losers side, but I went to the losing side a few times when he was on the winning side, so only the love between us. “”
