The batting superstar of Indian Cricket Team Virat Kohli endured a testing phase that saw him not scoring a century for nearly three years across any format. Not that he wasn’t scoring runs, but the three-figure scores that he so easily used to peel off, often at an alarming rate, had disappeared.
Kohli admits The lean phase has taught him a lot, and he has become a lot calmer, saying the angry, aggressive celebrations that quite often followed his hundreds are now in the past.
Kohli said, “The last two and a half years have taught me a lot. Those angry celebrations are a thing of the past. I have had many suggestions; lots of advice has come my way; people were telling me I was doing this wrong, that wrong.”
He further added that “I picked out all the videos from the best time I had—same initial movement, same approach towards the ball—and it was just what was happening inside my head; I wasn’t able to explain it to anyone.”
