Santner said, “It was very surprising for me to get Kohli out on a full toss. He doesn't usually play such shots. It was a bit slow ball. I just tried to change it a bit but usually if you The shot going for six was good but I believe India will probably look to play more aggressively and try to put us on the back foot. The more runs we score with the ball, our job will become a little easier.”
