00:03Virat Kohli has made a big news.

00:30Virat Kohli, captain, right-hand middle-order batsman, right-arm quick bowler.
00:49Virat and Rohit are the ones.
00:51As long as someone breaks an Indian, I don't mind.
01:00Virat Kohli, captain, right-hand middle-order batsman, right-arm quick bowler.
01:06No one goes through a very clean patch.
01:09You know, they'll have some sort of, you know, up and down in their career.
01:14Virat Kohli, captain, right-hand middle-order batsman, right-arm quick bowler.
01:22I'm walking into Wankhede, I felt that.
01:24Either these people have forgotten that the match is in India.
01:28I feel like I'm the number 11 player.
01:48It's an outstanding achievement.
01:50Never seen anyone get 500s in a World Cup, be it any tournament.

03:17It's going to be an exciting journey.
03:23Rohit is a very able captain and very, very tactically sound.

04:17And you have to see the team play.
04:35The team is really, really good.
04:38We don't have any problems in the team.
