In a nail-biting affair, Virat Kohli's India lost the first Twenty20 International (T20I) at the Gabba, Brisbane, by four runs against the hosts. 

As Australia have gone 1-0 up in the three-match T20I series, Kohli says they do not have much time to think fo things as they could end up being bad or good. 

"A lot of Indians came in to support us which is always the case anywhere we play. It was a close game, exciting one for the crowd to watch and for the players as well. Was a see-saw battle. Started well with the bat, fumbled in the middle overs, in the end, we thought we'll win with Pant and Karthik but it changed again with Pant's dismissal. 

He's (Dhawan) a very strong player at the top of the order. Hasn't got a T20 hundred yet, but the way he plays it really benefits the team. That's how it goes in the game. What we can do is learn from them (mistakes) and get back better. On the day, if we can have three-four guys to stand up for the team, that's what we want. Don't have much time to think of things, which can be a good thing as well as a bad thing," Kohli added. 

Meanwhile, the delighted Aussie skipper Aaron Finch said, "I thought the boys played really well, especially in the middle overs with the bat. Showed a lot of courage to take it on. Some of our bowling was outstanding under pressure. Never been my strong point at school (maths). Just stuffed it up out there. He's been practicing a lot (Stoinis). It's one strength he wants to add to his bowling. Going with three frontline quicks, and one all-rounder in Stoinis, he is the one we wanted to do that job at the end. And he did it beautifully."
