"We all know Virat is a great player. But even the greatest player needs only one ball to get out. I have a good feeling that someone from my side can bowl that one good ball tomorrow," Malinga said on a confident note ahead of the final against India.
Asked if the contest can be billed as one between Malinga and Kohli, he tried to play it down. "We have to plan for all 20 overs.
They have six or seven good batsmen. We don't think only about getting one particular batsman out. We have to focus on bowling 20 good overs. Virat is a good player, but, if he gets a good ball, he too can get out."
