India skipper Virat Kohli yesterday admitted Australia were better on the day, after the hosts registered their first defeat in the ongoing five-match ODI series at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium here last night.
Australia rode on a strong batting display and some excellent bowling to beat the hosts by 21 runs.
Opener David Warner scored 124 off 119 ball while pacer Kane Richardson clinched three wickets.
"We got a good opening partnership but we needed one big partnership after that as well. From that point of view, it wasn't a great batting performance from us. That can happen. People have off days. Umesh (Yadav) and (Mohammed) Shami bowled well. Spinners won't have good days always. Australia were really good today," Kohli said. "With the bat, their intent was really good. They pulled things back nicely in the field. We didn't play so bad, but they were better on the day." he added.
