Virat Kohli is the Player of the Match. And here's what he has to say on Tendulkar congratulating him for equalling the record:
"That's quite special. For me, it's all too much to take in right now - to equal my hero's record in one-day internationals is something that is a new genre for me. I know people like comparisons; I am never going to be as good as him. There's a reason why we all looked up to him: he is perfection when it comes to batting. I am trying to do my best, trying to win games for my country. He is always going to be my hero regardless of what happens. It's a very emotional moment for me. I know from where I come from. I know the days when I watched him on TV, so just to stand here and get this appreciation from someone like him means a lot to me."
On the match:
"It was a big game. We were probably playing the toughest team in the tournament that we have played so far, to be very honest. They have played some amazing cricket. So there was motivation of wanting to do well for the team. Because it happened to be my birthday, obviously it became a bit more special... people made it a bit more special for me. I had this sense that it was going to be something more today rather than just one more game in the World Cup. So I did wake up with that excitement, yes.
"People from the outside probably look at the game in a little different way. When the openers start in that fashion and the ball is new, then you feel like, wow, this is a belter and everyone has to keep going that way. But the conditions change quite drastically with the old ball, the pitch slows down.
"The message from the management was simple: I bat deep, the guys around me bat with me, stringing partnerships, express themselves and keep doing the job that the team requires me to. That's my role, that has always been my role. So I was just happy from that perspective because on pitches like these, if you get out, you can always look back and say, 295, maybe we could have got 320-325. Once we were above 315, we knew it was above par and we were in a comfortable situation."
On getting back among runs:
"I would say I am enjoying myself playing cricket all over again - that too me is more special than thinking about phases as such. I think in a phase where things are not working well, you are not enjoying yourself. That's what I take out of it. You are still able to score runs because of your experience, but being out there even for those 50-60 is not as enjoyable as it is right now. So I am just happy that God has blessed me with that enjoyment again, and I can do the things I have done for so many years for the team all over again."
And I will leave you with that. Thanks for joining us. See you tomorrow.
