No home advantage because of IPL:Virat Kohli

India Test captain Virat Kohli feels that India won't have such a big home advantage any more.

"So many players from around the world have played the IPL for 8-9 years now so they are familiar with the Indian conditions," Kohli said at the launch of 2016 ICC World T20.

When India last hosted an ICC event in 2011, they started the tournament as clear favourites. And they delivered too. But the IPL was three years old back then - with the second edition taking place in South Africa. With eight seasons complete, and with more and more cricketers from around the world making a name for themselves in India, conditions are not fully in India's favour anymore.

India suffered heartbreak in the previous edition when they failed at the final hurdle, losing to Sri Lanka in the final at the Sher-E-Bangla National Stadium, Mirpur. Kohli said that the defeat in the final hurt the team.

Kohli said that keeping things simple will be the key to success in this edition.

The six-city based PWL will commence at New Delhi's K.D. Jadhav Stadium on Thursday. The semi-finals will be held on December 25 and 26, with the final on December 27.

“I was thrilled on hearing about the Pro Wrestling League and Bengaluru Yodhas. I am no stranger to the city of Bangalore and it is wonderful that I can extend my association by way of the Yodhas,” Kohli said in a statement.

“I am confident that the Yodhas will be a vital cog in the scheme of things. I am excited and cannot wait to follow all the action on the mat.”

Bengaluru are a strong team comprising the likes of Narsingh Pancham Yadav (74kg), Bajrang Punia (65kg), Sandeep Tomar (57kg), Ukraine’s Pavlo Oliiynik (97kg), 2012 London Olympics silver medallist Davit Modzmanashvili (125kg) of Georgia in men’s section.

In the women’s category, five-time World Championship medallist Yuliya Ratkevich of Azerbaijan, USA’s Alyssa Lampe, India’s Lalita Sehrawat and Navjot Kaur are in the ranks.

Virat gives credit to the team after test series win against Africa

"Test cricket has been one format where we all have wanted to do well. I'd like to give credit to the team to show character and bounce back in last two series like the way we have. I feel that it all began in Australia for us, the way we played there. Showed character even in defeats. Not one-sided defeats. We were always on opposition's heels that we could cash in on any stage. That gave us a lot of belief as a Test team that we can play well around the world. We carried that from Australia, took it to Sri Lanka, had a few plans and rules - things that we needed to do in order to do well. We gave everyone the responsibility that you have to give your 110 percent effort every single day. You are being honest to work ethics team requires going out there to play the best cricket that one can play. Not focusing on opposition too much, not on what people were saying. We focused on our skills. Strong bond that team requires."said Kohli in post match conference.

Virat Kohli dedicated 3-0 test winv to the victims affected by the Chennai floods

India defeated the visitors by 337 runs in the final Test, thereby taking the 4-match Test series, 3-0. Meanwhile, Indian Test skipper Virat Kohli could not stop smiling after the win, said, “All the wins were special, but this one because we had to work harder, the South African batsmen put their head down and played for the draw, always hard work. I just asked the bowlers to put their hands up and that’s what happened after tea.”

“I would like to dedicate this victory to the victims affected by the Chennai floods. I think that’s been a very unfortunate few weeks and my thoughts go out to all the people who have lost their family members,”said the skipper while concluding his post-match media interaction.

India won the toss and elected to bat first

"We are going to bat first. Looks like a track where we can get runs and put pressure on them, especially when we are 2-0 up. Generally the Delhi surface is known to produce runs. At this time, the ball tends to do something in winters. It is always challenging playing here in winters in Delhi. I doubt it, it starts getting pretty dark at around 4, the lights will come into play a lot in this match (when light can hold good till 4:30pm). Just one change - Umesh comes in for Amit Mishra. It can do quite a bit in Delhi, we are keeping all bases covered. We want to finish well as a team - we don't play Test matches for another six months, want the squad to go back home and enjoy the break with a good mindset."said indian captain Virat Kohli at the toss.
