According to Virat Kohli, India will thrive under pressure as it is a make or break situation for them. After a dreadful loss against Sri Lanka, India will face South Africa to avoid an embarrassing exit at the Kennington Oval.
Kohli is completely aware of the criticism that would come his way after elimination. But, the Indian captain remained upbeat and has asked his players to embrace high stakes nature of their showdown with South Africa.
India came up as favourites to lift the trophy but, their defeat against Sri Lanka has given them some headache.

“It’s become very exciting. Every game now effectively a quarter-final now,” Kohli said. “In our group especially, all teams are on two points, and you have to win your next game to go through, which is an exciting position to be in.”
He, however, has warned his team to not underestimate the Proteas. Indian bowlers need to work hard as they could not defend a solid total of 321 runs. Kohli has hinted changes as he talked about finding the right balance.
