Virat Kohli (India Captain): I think we were brutal upfront. We were lacking that courage with both bat & ball. We weren't braced enough when we entered the field, but NZ sustained that pressure. Every time we took a chance, we lost a wicket. It's often a result of hesitation of whether to go for a shot or not. When you play for India, there are loads of expectations. Even the players playing that have a lot of expectations. We are watched by millions, people come to the stadium and everyone who plays for India needs to adapt & cope with it. We haven't done that in these two games, and that's why we haven't won. We have to be optimistic and take calculated risks in our game. That's very crucial in this format. We have to forget all these & continue focusing on our process and play a positive brand of cricket. We have to be optimistic as there's a lot of cricket to left to play in the tournament.
