India Vs SA, Semifinal, WT20 2014
Today India was chasing a big target i.e. 170 in a crucial match. Following is some learning i got from the runchase:
1. Kohli: He loves challenges. Bigger the target more determined he is and more effort he puts. In his mind he knows it can be achieved. Don't be afraid of the challenge, simple life will not become a legend. Be bold and face challenges. Be confidant that you are up for the challenge. Never bow down.
2. Know that it is a long term game and you will get a number of occasions to hit sixes. Do not panic, if those are not coming right now.
Play to win and not just survive or give a fight. Play to win.
