Captain Virat Kohli on Monday said he was not “cool as ice” after the Australian lower-order’s spirited resistance delayed India’s march to victory in the opening Test here. India defeated Australia by 31 runs to take a 1-0 lead in the four-match series at the Adelaide Oval.
This was India’s sixth Test win on Australian soil, coming after some tense moments thanks to the Australian lower order’s resistance.
“These things happen in Tests, ups and downs through a game. Odds were stacked against them. They fought really well but we executed our plans well,” Kohli said at the post-match presentation ceremony.
Asked if he felt the heat, the India skipper said: “I wouldn’t say I was cool as ice but you just don’t try to show it. Jasprit was getting worked up in his last over but I just told him to relax. Super proud (of the bowlers), to have four bowlers and take 20 wickets is a great achievement. Something that we haven’t done in the past.”
Kohli said India were “collectively better” in the Test and hoped his batsmen would step up regularly after the bowlers played a part.
“(It) shows us that if the batsmen step up regularly, we will be gunning for a win in every Test match. Collectively we were the better team and deserved to win,” Kohli said.
He stood there ADM-201 dumps for a long AWS-SYSOPS test time. 300-115 dumps Tami Joan CISSP dumps and John desperately retreated 300-101 dumps until they reached the other side of the door, holding two sweaty bodies tightly together.

Tameron could not 400-101 test help but constricted a while, and John made a short, screaming scream. Behind the driver, CISSP dumps the air in the distance was filled with bright red and blue flame stripes instantly. Then again is a few 300-115 dumps roar and scream. The 100-105 test driver turns and looks up, just to see a huge, orange-red cobweb over the city.

Therefore, ADM-201 dumps 100-105 test there is no other way to pour back 200-125 test into the past 300-101 dumps to understand what the reporter said is a piece of open space. 400-101 test The headquarters radio said He said it 300-101 dumps was on the 37th Street ADM-201 dumps near Eleventh Street. Those at the 200-125 test Notification Center never figured out where 70-533 dumps the 200-125 test exact location of the murder was. Although it is nine oclock in the morning, it has made 400-101 test people sweat more than hot. Emilia Shakes lay aside 100-105 test a tall grass thatch. She 70-533 dumps is conducting a 200-125 test search of light – a jargon of crime scene investigators – searching for suspicious objects with an 200-125 test S-shaped route.

She 70-533 dumps wants to leave. Just call 10-90, report that without ADM-201 dumps any discovery, you can return to the Si Si area, it is 300-101 dumps her daily patrol area. Her knees hurt and she CISSP dumps CISSP dumps felt as if she had been roasted on ADM-201 dumps a terrible August day. She just wanted 70-533 dumps to slip to the Port Authority and get stuck 300-115 dumps with the Little 400-101 test Furrier there and come back AWS-SYSOPS test to a large can of Arizona iced tea. Then, at eleven thirty AWS-SYSOPS test – just two hours now – she was able to clear the drawers in the south section of Midtown and go to the lower town for training. But she 200-125 test finally did not do this. She can not leave this briefing without answering the phone 400-101 test call. As she continued to move on, she walked along the hot sidewalk through the path between the two abandoned apartments and into 100-105 test another covered, planted area. 200-125 test She slid her slender forefinger down into her flat-top hat and scratched it with AWS-SYSOPS test irresistible restraints through layers of long, red hair 200-125 test on her head. In 200-125 test order to scratch more scalp, she simply faded her cap side, while crazy scratch.

Shakes looked at the finger, that root was cut off the bones exposed bones finger. She looked at the glittering diamond 300-115 dumps ring, those eyes, CISSP dumps 300-115 dumps and that twisted CISSP dumps mouth Europe, that horrible mouth. Thriller spread throughout her body. Emilia ADM-201 dumps Shakes 100-105 test swimming in the water 300-101 dumps snake river during the summer camp, and absolutely did 400-101 test not hesitate to 300-115 dumps jumped from the 100-foot bridge, but as long as AWS-SYSOPS test she thought of a hush think of Was tied 70-483 test 70-483 test into 200-125 test a ball, could not move, immediately fell 200-125 test into the feeling of panic like an electric shock. Because of this, Shakes walked so 300-115 dumps fast and was so crazy when driving. As long as you move, they can not catch ADM-201 dumps you She heard a voice and quickly looked up. A rumbling sound 70-533 dumps came from far and louder and louder. Few pieces of shredded paper are raised by the wind and fly along the rails. Dust circling around her, like an angry ghost. 400-101 test Then there was AWS-SYSOPS test a deep whine Emiliano Shakespear, CISSP dumps a five-foot-nine patrolman, found 70-483 test himself facing the 300-101 dumps locomotive of a 31-ton American-American company. The red, white, blue-faced steel behemoth is approaching her 70-533 dumps at ten 70-483 test ADM-201 dumps miles an hour. 70-483 test Stop 70-533 dumps Stop She shouted. The 200-125 test train driver 300-101 dumps ignored her. Shakes ran to 200-125 test the railway, standing in CISSP dumps the middle 300-101 dumps of 300-115 dumps the rails, swinging 100-105 test his legs waving his arm, signaling ADM-201 dumps the driver to stop moving 70-483 test 70-533 dumps forward. With a long and harsh 70-533 dumps brakes, the locomotive stopped. Driver head out of the window. You can not open here, she 400-101 test said to him. He asked her what it meant. She thought, he looked so young, actually 100-105 test driving such a large AWS-SYSOPS test locomotive. 70-483 test Here is a crime scene, please turn off the engine. Miss, 300-115 dumps I did not 100-105 test see any crime. But Shakes did not have time to listen to him long-winded. She was looking up at a 300-115 dumps gap in the barbed wire fence to the west of the viaduct. ADM-201 dumps Not far from above is Eleven Street. One way of trying to 100-105 test bring a victim here is to find that 300-115 dumps there is a way to stop the car at Eleven Street and drag the victim across the CISSP dumps narrow path to the edge of the cliff. If you park your car on the 37th Street in the CISSP dumps 70-483 test horizontal 100-105 test direction, he 70-533 dumps may be seen by people in the windows of 20 apartments. The train, sir, just stop it here. I can not ADM-201 dumps park the train here. Turn off the engine. In this case we can not 300-115 dumps turn off the train engine and it must be running. You 70-483 test call CISSP dumps the dispatch 400-101 test or someone 300-115 dumps else to stop the train to Nankai. 70-533 dumps We can not do that. Get it right, sir, 300-115 dumps AWS-SYSOPS test Ive noticed 400-101 test the number 70-533 dumps of your car The car Youd CISSP dumps better do it right away Shakes roared. What do you want, Miss, give me a ticket But Emilio AWS-SYSOPS test Shakus climbed back up the 300-115 dumps steep hill again. Her poor knuckles crunched, her lips covered in 100-105 test 400-101 test lime, dirt, and her own sweat. She drilled through the gap AWS-SYSOPS test she had found on the tracks and turned around CISSP dumps to study the Javets 200-125 test Convention Center across 11th Avenue and 100-105 test across the street. The convention center is full of people today – there are participants and journalists. A huge banner 300-101 dumps reads Welcome United Nations 400-101 test Representative. Earlier in the morning, however, there was still AWS-SYSOPS test no 70-533 dumps one on the street, and the murderer could easily find a parking space in the street, before the CISSP dumps people unwittingly moved AWS-SYSOPS test the 70-533 dumps victim to the tracks. Shakespeare strode to Eleventh Street and observed the six-lane main road, which is now full of traffic. Let it go She burst into the car sea, calmly cut off traffic on the north lane. Several drivers tried hard to force her to issue two tickets in a row. In the end, they dragged a few rubbish bins to the center of the road as roadblocks to ensure that these good citizens abided by the rules.
It was Cheteshwar Pujara’s century, which bailed India out of a difficult situation on the first day, and the senior pro contributed handsomely in the second essay too, scoring 71 and attracting Kohli’s praise.
“It was priceless from Pujara. His grit and determination brought us back in it. We always knew that runs on the board would make the home side tentative. Any lead was gold and we got 15. In the second innings again, he and Rahane batted well.”
Did he think the target of 323 was enough and Kohli replied, “I think our lower middle order and lower order could have done better. We could have added another 30-35 runs more which could have taken the game totally beyond Australia.
“So these are things that we have to think about going to Perth but if someone had told me before the series that I would be 1-0 up as soon we started the series, I would have taken it with both hands.”
Australian captain Tim Paine was a disappointed man, his team having come close to an improbable win. “It’s pretty shattering. But India thoroughly deserved to win. We thought we could do it. But our batters couldn’t bat for long enough with our tail to win. I thought Pujara was probably the difference between the two sides. We go to Perth with a belief we can still win this Test series,” he said.
Man of the Match Pujara said past experience of playing in this part of the world helped. “I think playing here before has helped me a lot. I think what has helped me is the preparation. Ultimately (for) winning the Test match credit (goes) to all the bowlers.
“The first innings lead of 15 gave us the belief batting. I always back my ability and I’ve got enough experience,” Pujara said.
His father played an influential in his growth as a cricketer, and Pujara thanked him. “It means a lot, he’ll be a proud father. I’d like to thank him for all his support throughout my career.”
