Hindustan Times  

PERTH, - Virat Kohli returned to form with a classy century as India claimed a thumping win against Australia in their series opener and stand-in skipper Jasprit Bumrah said the veteran batsman's importance to the side cannot be overstated. Cricket-Kohli doesn't need us, we need him, says India's Bumrah Kohli, 36, came in for heavy criticism in the run-up to the Perth test after scoring only 192 runs in his previous 10 innings and posting an average of 15.50 in India's three home test defeats by New Zealand. "I've said this before, Virat Kohli doesn't need us, we need him," Bumrah told reporters on Monday after India sealed a 295-run victory to take a 1-0 lead in the five-match series. "He got a good delivery in the first innings but he was still in a great space and capitalised in the second innings," Bumrah added.
