The focus now switches to Raipur on Wednesday as India look to wrap up the series with another strong performance ahead of the third and final game of the series in Visakhapatnam on Saturday.
For Kohli the focus will remain the same as the right-hander maintains the same preparation he has used throughout his career and helped him remain as one of the best white-ball players in the game.
“I think at this stage with the experience that I have for me, it’s about being physically fit, mentally ready and excited to play the games that I’m playing, and more or less everything else should take care of itself,” Kohli said post-game.
“I’ve never been a big believer of a lot of preparation. All my cricket has been mental. As long as I feel mentally I can play the game, I work physically very hard every day of my life it’s got nothing to do with cricket anymore, it’s just the way I live.
“So as long as my fitness levels are up and my enjoyment and mental sharpness is there, then you can visualise the game and you see yourself running as hard, reacting fast on the ball, then you know it’s fine. (I know) one of the days when the game opens up and you get a start, you’ll be able to score some runs.”
