I feel good chasing targets: Kohli

Virat Kohli suggested India might chase in the final ODI against Australia on Saturday with the series level at 2-2 after two games were washed out in the seven-match affair. India won both their games chasing scores in excess of 350 as Kohli blazed unbeaten hundreds with big contributions from openers Shikhar Dhawan and Rohit Sharma. India's bowlers are peeved with the new field restrictions and the use of two new balls on flat pitches but their batsmen have ensured that the Aussie attack has been put under as much pain. "Personally I feel good to chase because you know the target to meet. (We) can plan better and analyse how to play in different situations. I (also) feel good to calculate and play, which bowler to target and which ball to hit. "While batting first, we need to assess the batting conditions and big partnerships are important to score high. Whether batting first or second, partnership is very crucial for the team. We need to be in strong position," he told the media at the pre-match press conference on Friday. Kohli has so far amassed 344 runs from four innings and even prompted Sunil Gavaskar to say that the young batting sensation might overtake Sachin Tendulkar's record of 49 ODI centuries. Kohli is understandably pleased with his own form and also with the way the world champions bounced back from poor bowling performances to stay alive in the series. "Personally, my form has been pleasing for me so far. Hopefully, I can do it once again in the last game "We need to execute our plans to win the series, which has been a hard-fought battle so far," Kohli said. Kohli also lauded Dhawan and Sharma, whose massive opening stands have helped him blossom further. "we have so many talented batsmen like Dhawan and Rohit , who have given great starts. They have been brilliant at the top and have given me a good platform to go and express myself. The credit has to go to everyone in the team," he said. Kohli has been the most consistent Indian batsman in the series so far having hit two of the three fastest hundreds (off 52 and 61 balls respectively) by an Indian in the second and sixth ODIs but he said winning is more important than personal records. "It has been good so far. I never expected get a 100 in 50 plus balls and another 100 in 60 balls," he said. "Winning is the best drug one can have and winning is more important than records. A win tomorrow will give us a lot of confidence for the two Tests against the West Indies. We will do our best to give a winning farewell to Sachin," he added. Kohli also said that the new rule, which enforces an extra fielder inside the 30-yard circle at all times, should be looked into as it is working against the bowlers. "In batting-friendly conditions, it is very hard for the captain to contain runs and has been difficult for the bowlers. Hence, the rule should be be looked into as far as keeping five fielders (inside the circle) is concerned. "It is ICC's decision to give us the rule. So I can't comment more." Australian wicketkeeper Brad Haddin said the teams would get used to the new rule in the due course of time and would slowly get a hang of what is a good score. "The more you play (with the new rules) you will get more trends and patterns to see what is a good target," said Haddin.
