‘Sachin’s message is special for me’
India registered its eighth consecutive win in the ICC World Cup by defeating South Africa by 243 runs with the help of Ravindra Jadeja’s 5 wicket haul after Kohli’s 49th century. When Kohli was asked about this, he said, ‘Tendulkar’s message is very special. It’s all too much for now.

‘It was a challenging match’
Kohli said that the fans made this match very special for him. According to Kohli, ‘It was a challenging match. Probably, playing against the toughest team so far in the tournament gave us the inspiration to perform well. People made my birthday even more special. I realized it was something else. When the opening batsmen start in that (fast) manner, you feel that the pitch is quite easy. However, the circumstances changed after the ball became old.
