India will aim to win three in a row: Kohli

August 02, 2012 02:56 am | Updated November 16, 2021 11:06 pm IST - Colombo:

The series is in its grasp after two successive victories, but in-form Indian batsman Virat Kohli said his team will remain focussed on getting a hat-trick of wins when it takes the field in the fifth and final ODI against Sri Lanka here on Saturday.

Kohli’s tremendous run against Sri Lanka continued on Tuesday where he notched up his 13th ODI century to help India successfully chase the 251 and take an unassailable 3-1 lead in the five-match series.

India won the last two games played here each time chasing a target in excess of 250. “If we can win three in a row it will be wonderful for us. Our game is as consistent as it can be,” said Kohli.
