Improvement happens when you think what can I add to my game to win the match: Virat Kohli
During a recent conversation with Star Sports, Virat Kohli shed light on the importance of adapting to the changing needs of the game and adding new scoring shots to his armory. He said:
"Improvement happens when you think what can I add to my game to win the match. This very few people know that to technically look good you don’t practice; it is so that I can learn a new shot and I can score runs for the team and win the match. Think that's a nice way to put it; no one has given me perspective about this thing, but it feels like that it is certainly a gift. It is not something that I will ever claim; I can only feel grateful."
Reflecting on his famous six against Haris Rauf on the fourth ball of 19th in the 2022 T20 World Cup match against Pakistan at the MCG, Kohli added:
"You're a part of a moment that you felt was so pure and so intense at the same time, and you were chosen to be there in the execution of that moment. If I have seen such a moment, I will remember Sachin sir's sixes in Sharjah in the World Cup. And I’m in that moment, so I remember when this happened as well; everything comes to your mind.”
Kohli's unbeaten 82 from 53 helped India beat Pakistan by four wickets in that game.
Do you think Virat Kohli will continue his good form and play a match-winning knock in the semi-final of the 2023 World Cup against New Zealand?
