“I think we have to give Virat Kohli a lot of credit for his Global impact. A lot of people beyond the borders of India turn on their television to see just Virat Kohli’s batting and to see him play,” Bishop said.
Meanwhile, Kohli recently talked about the upcoming Asia Cup and World Cup games.
Kohli talked about how he looks back at his previous games and things he’s learned for motivation. The ex-captain of India also said that he carefully looks at his own play to improve and develop as a player. He spoke about becoming stronger mentally to continue moving ahead.
“I draw inspiration from my past successes and learnings. Reflecting on the moments when I performed at my best and analyzing the areas where I can improve from losses helps me grow as a player. Every setback becomes an opportunity for me to come back stronger. What has truly defined me as a person is my ability to stay resilient and keep pushing forward, no matter how difficult the circumstances. People will always have opinions and judgments, but I have learned to trust my instincts and have confidence in my abilities. This self-belief has been the driving force behind all my achievements on the cricket field,” Kohli said
Kohli also talked about how he gets ready physically and mentally. He mentioned that he does regular exercises, practices mindfulness, and takes care of his mental well-being. He also mentioned that he sticks to a disciplined eating plan to stay healthy all year round.
“I engage in regular workouts, meditation, and mindfulness practices to keep my mind and body in sync. Additionally, spending quality time with my loved ones is vital for me to unwind and find emotional support. I make sure to follow a strict diet to stay in shape,” he added.
