Can't be daunted by 300-plus scores in New Zealand says Virat Kohli

Napier, Jan 22 (CRICKETNMORE): India captain Virat Kohli on Tuesday said the key for his team will be not to get flustered by 300-plus scores as they begin their limited overs series against New Zeala

The series will also be India's last overseas assignment before the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup 2019. But while acknowledging it would serve as preparation for the tournament, Kohli said winning matches was always the priority.

"There needs to be a collective effort towards refining ourselves as a team, approaching the World Cup," Kohli said. 

"And if we need to try out a few players here and there to see how they react in different situations or different positions in the team, we are open to do that as well.

"We don't want to be too rigid because you have to be flexible in your mind and in your preparation to be able to be competitive in a big tournament like the World Cup," he added.
