Speaking to Sportskeeda, Gautam Gambhir said that Virat Kohli probably slowed down in the last 5-6 overs because of the century. I understand there were already runs on the board. Had the Indian team been batting on a good wicket, this inning could have been damaging.

Gambhir said that the way Kohli took the risk and removed the pressure from him, he should be praised. Both batted well. The time batting on the new ball was good. Playing cautiously, he allowed Keshav Maharaj’s overs to go and gave him only one wicket. Jadeja took five wickets, it was fantastic.
