India vs New Zealand: Putting pressure on Virat Kohli paid dividends, says Kiwi pacer Trent Boult

Firstpost  

The hosts have successfully kept the dangerous Kohli quiet throughout the Test series, as the India skipper failed to reach even 20 runs in the four completed innings Christchurch: Forcing a world-class batsman like Virat Kohli make errors after piling pressure on him was extremely satisfying, senior New Zealand pacer Trent Boult said on Sunday after his side took control of the second Test. The hosts have successfully kept the dangerous Kohli quiet throughout the Test series, as the India skipper failed to reach even 20 runs in the four completed innings. “He is one of the best players in the world, no doubt about that,” Boult said when asked about the secret of keeping Kohli under check. The 30-year-old said that conditions were favourable for seam bowling and he didn’t mind that the ball moved around through and through, which resulted in 16 wickets falling on the second day.
