1.2
Siraj to Ravindra, no run
1.1
Siraj to Ravindra, no run, little swing and curve for Siraj. Slants it in fuller, Ravindra cue-ends the ball down to mid-off
Mohammed Siraj, right-arm fast medium, comes into the attack
0.6
Bumrah to Conway, no run, slants the ball away at 135.7 kph and Conway lets it go. Not much movement in the over. But Bumrah pulled it back better after a poor start to the over
0.5
Bumrah to Conway, no run, much better from Bumrah as he slants it across at almost 139 kph, Conway bails out of the poke. Tried to have a feel of it
0.4
Bumrah to Conway, no run
0.3
Bumrah to Conway, FOUR, this time to the left of the point fielder and four more. Back of a length delivery, outside off, Conway stabs it and sends it to the left of the point fielder. The ball sped past the fielder
0.2
Bumrah to Conway, no run
0.1
Bumrah to Conway, FOUR, short, wide, crashed past point for a four. That was wide, Conway went after it and put it away past point. Easy peasy for Conway. That would help his confidence
Conway and Ravindra are at the crease. Conway is on strike. Bumrah will open the attack
Indian team in a huddle. Just sticking to basic plans should be enough I feel.
Sachin Tendulkar: A big, big congratulations to Virat, he made it look easy, he's gone to 50 hundreds in ODI format. Incredible, super, we are all super proud of him. I still remember the first day when he got into the Indian dressing room. The other players played prank on him and made him touch my feet saying that this is tradition, you have to touch his feet to take his blessings, that's when you are going to have a good career. I was laughing away. Today to see the same player grow so beautifully and achieve so many laurels for our country, I am so proud.
Kohli (2/2): (On his celebration after reaching the hundred) As I said stuff of dreams. Anushka was sitting right there, Sachin paaji was here too. Difficult to explain this. If I could paint a perfect picture I would want this to be the picture. My life partner, the person I love the most is sitting there, my hero is sitting there and I was able to get the 50th (ODI hundred) in front of all of them and all these stands in Wankhede as well, such a history venue so it was amazing. (Assessing the team's innings) In a big game you are happy with anything over 330-340. To get close to 400 is amazing. Lot of credit has to go to Shreyas the way he came and batted freely.. Shubman and Rohit at the top, KL finishing with the flurry... I think everyone did their roles to perfection and did the job beautifully for the team. A perfect batting performance but just one half of the game is done. Still got to go out there and be professional with the ball and do the things we have done in the tournament so far.
Virat Kohli (1/2): I said in Kolkata, the great man (Sachin Tendulkar) just congratulated me. All this feels like a dream, too good to be true. Feels surreal for me. Again a big game today, I had to play the role I have played throughout the tournament so that the guys around me can go and express themselves. Just glad everything came together so nicely and we put up a great total on the board as well. (On how he gets the consistency going) Most important thing is to make my team win and whatever it takes to do that I am ready to do that. Whether running singles and doubles, hitting boundaries... whatever the team wants me to do. I have been given a role this tournament and I have been trying to play that to the best of my abilities - try to dig deep and bat long so the guys around me can play around me and have that confidence in the later overs where I can dominate with the bat as well.
This was just the second instance of two individual hundreds being scored in a World Cup knockout game; the previous instance featuring Tillakaratne Dilshan (108*) and Upul Tharanga (102*) in Sri Lanka's 10-wicket win in the 2011 quarter final against England at RPS, Colombo.
