India's 126-run win against England in Hyderabad was a dramatic turnaround after they had been battered by the same opposition all summer, but Virat Kohli said they had been playing good cricket from the one-day series in England. Rather than any drastic change in approach, Kohli said it was the fact that the team had continued to stay positive through the 0-3 loss in the ODIs in England that allowed them to win the game.
"I think we played really well in the ODIs in England," Kohli said. "It was just a matter of crossing the line which we couldn't do there. Unfortunately, a few times we had rain and Duckworth/Lewis coming in at the wrong time, though we can't really blame that. We fought hard through that series and kept our heads high; and that probably made the difference in this first game here."
India has also been helped by reception conditions in Hyderabad and Kohli said that the spinners would be the key to the series. The second ODI on Monday Kohli ground - the Feroz Shah Kotla in Delhi, where the track was very inconsistent during the IPL in April-May
"This increase has been more on the slow side and there is not much bounce," said Kohli. "Apparently, it's better than before. You can not see too many bounces, but it would be better than before.
"In Hyderabad, it was slow and yarn spinners did well and is our strength, and we want to exploit as much as we can know the conditions spinners in India really good .. This is to express their skills and if they Get It Right, it is very difficult to deal with them on Indian wickets. "
England lost six wickets for the spinners, Hyderabad, and although they have more than a week in India to prepare for the show, Jade Dernbach said they still need to adapt to conditions. "The situation here is very different from what we experience at home," he said. "We've just got to adapt, and we can not use the various reasons as an excuse, we know what to expect and had a good preparation for ten days ..
"The land plays an important role in how quickly they have a bowl, and how I take the pace of the ball slower. If the land is very slow, it is obvious that down much faster if slow roll a ball , which gives the battery a bit more to see. These are the things that have to adapt to decide what changes in use, and also to consider border sizes and other things. "
When the first one-dayer, MS Dhoni had said that even if the pitches would help recall the possibility of dew could play an important role in the series, as it affects the ability of the call to grab the ball. "There will be baptized here in the winter," said Kohli. "The team batting second is also interest in Wicket will stabilize. This is my home ground, but I only played two games here this year so I have to see what happens in tomorrow's game."
The England coach Andy Flower has admitted that his team had been sent by India in first ODI said that does not happen often. India has a young team in the series of one day with several top players missing, and Kohli said there was a concerted effort to improve the level of implementation.
"We started to warm up for practice sessions with the launch today. This is a daily routine if it makes people want to invest the time in practice Fielding. Whenever you have time before or after the network practice, put some time in Fielding.
"All of us are trying to improve as a unit into service, because it makes a huge difference if you can save 10-15 runs in the first ten overs. The opposition sends a message, and what if they do not trust to take you on a special track. Fielding is fun at home because you have 60,000 people you support. If you feel a little off one day crowd lifts you. You can not really teach someone to enjoy Fielding as it comes from within. "
