We spoke about couple of things away from the game and then also couple of technical things but it was very basic. "I have been wanting to tell him for quite a while, I was watching him for a few months looking like he was quite intense -- at the crease, with his whole game. So, I really wasn't surprised when I saw the message and I knew immediately that all he needs to hear is the basic stuff. "Four points -- see the ball, still head, allow the ball to come into your space, body language and attitude. And then we sort of elaborated around those four points," said De Villiers. The advice from de Villiers for Kohli and he smashed an unbeaten 73 in the next match to help India chase down 165 against the visitors and level the series 1-1. He hit 52-ball 80 in the 5th and final T20I to help India seal the series 3-2.
