June 11 (CRICKETNMORE) - India will take on South Africa in a crucial must win match of Group B of ICC Champions Trophy today i:e Sunday at Kennington Oval in London. Indian Captain Virat Kohli is looking calm and composed and treating it like just another game. “As a cricketer, I crave games like these,” he said.

“If you perform in them and your team gets across the line, it’s a different feeling. It improves you as a cricketer. I never thought the game against Pakistan was the biggest of my captaincy career, and I don’t think this one is, either. To me, every game is the same; you win some, you lose some.”

“You need to have a good balance of being competitive and passionate but not overexcited. A lot of times, teams come in and they want to do something special and end up messing up the game in important situations,” he said.

Kohli would not be drawn on his team composition. “We have definitely looked at the last game and where we can make a bit of change. I’m not going to reveal anything now, but any sort of combination is possible.”
