Centurion Virat Kohli feels India has a good prospect of chasing the target and push for a 2-0 series win if the hosts manage to bat for another three to four sessions. New Zealand were 232-9 in their second innings at stumps, enjoying an overall lead of 244 on Day Three of the second Test at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium here yesterday. <img alt="" src="http://images.mid-day.com/2012/sep/vjoy.jpg" style="width: 400px; height: 419px; " /> Virat Kohli celebrates his century at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bangalore yesterday. Pics/AFP &ldquo;We have to play normal cricket. We are not worried about the target. There&rsquo;s still two days to go. I think if we bat for three to four sessions, we will be in a really good position to win the match,&rdquo; said Kohli, who struck 103 in the first innings, his maiden ton in India. Kohli said he was pleased with his form and it was special to reach the three-figure mark at the start of the day. &ldquo;It&rsquo;s always satisfying to get a hundred. People have asked me this earlier as well &mdash; which 100 is most special to you? And I&rsquo;ve always said the 100 in Adelaide against Australia. I didn&rsquo;t have that feeling ever in my life, before or after &mdash; and I felt it today again.&rdquo; <img alt="" src="http://images.mid-day.com/2012/sep/Ashwin.jpg" style="width: 400px; height: 373px; " /> R Ashwin ended the day as the most successful Indian bowler with 5-69 Kohli said batting at No 5 was a bit tricky for him. &ldquo;I am used to batting at No 3 in ODIs where I keep myself charged up from the beginning, but going at No 5 is a tricky situation for me. Hopefully I&rsquo;ll get used to it.&rdquo; On his leg-before dismissal to New Zealand paceman Tim Southee, the in-form batsman said, &ldquo;All the balls I played before (being dismissed), I was looking at the bowler&rsquo;s hand, but I didn&rsquo;t look at his hand when Southee bowled with a crossed seam. This is a big lesson.&rdquo; Southee grabbed his maiden seven-wicket haul as India were bowled out for 353 in their first innings in reply to the visitors&rsquo; 365. Off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin ended the day as the most successful Indian bowler with 5-69 &mdash; his fifth fifer in Test cricket.u00a0
