India vs Australia, 1st Test: Smith, O’Keefe power Australia to victory<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n“I take the loss on the chin and move ahead. Big learning Test for me as well, this was one occasion where they outplayed us.”<\/p>\n
Kohli admitted that it was India’s worst batting display in the last two years, after the hosts twice succumbed to left-arm spinner Steve O’Keefe, who returned with a career-best match haul of 12\/70.<\/p>\n
India were bowled out for a paltry 105 in the first innings and could only master 107 in their second essay chasing 441.<\/p>\n
“It was our worst batting display in the last two years. We need to see what we did wrong. They exploited it better than us,” he said.<\/p>\n
“They put us under pressure throughout and deserved to win this game. We’ve had two really bad sessions and to pull it back against a quality side is very difficult. No excuses. Sometimes, you have to take your hat off and tell the opposition well done.”<\/p>\n
With Pune hosting a Test match for the first time, Kohli dismissed any demons on the pitch and credited the Australians for exploiting the wicket pretty well.<\/p>\n
“The wicket at Pune always remains low and slow but as I said credit goes to their bowlers for exploiting it much better than us.”<\/p>\n
Among the positives, Kohli counted pacer Umesh Yadav’s brave effort in the both the innings, which saw the 29-year-old Vidarbha bowler ending with a match haul of 6\/71.<\/p>\n
“Kudos to him. He understood the situation well and bowled accordingly,” he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

Pune: After tasting his first loss as full-time India skipper, Virat Kohli on Saturday conceded that the 333-run loss to Australia in the first cricket Test is a big learning for him.<\/p>\n
Australia ended India’s 19-match unbeaten streak after thrashing the hosts within three days to take a 1-0 lead in the four-match Test rubber.<\/p>\n
“It’s been a good run. Good to see the support. We got outplayed in this game. We got to take it on the chin, accept that they outplayed us,” the 28-year-old said in the post-match presentation ceremony.<\/p>\n
