Delhi: Indian team's great batsman Virat Kohli has batted brilliantly in the last 10 ODI matches, scoring 3 centuries and 4 half-centuries. Even at the age of 38, his form remains a topic of discussion for Indian cricket. In such a situation, Virat looks more fresh and full of confidence than before.

Changed thinking about role

According to Kohli, the biggest change in his game has come in his thinking. He said, “I promised myself that I will play with more freedom. I will not worry about what people expect from me. For a long time, my role has been to manage the innings.”

Now emphasis on aggressive batting

Kohli admits that he has the ability to play big shots, but at times the team situation and responsibility prevented him from taking risks. He said, “I know I can play and make shots, but if the pitch is difficult and I am given a role, I stop myself from taking risks.”

Now the aim of the 37-year-old batsman is to add 30-40 runs to the team's score by taking the innings forward. The right-handed batsman said, “If I am not taking risks at the moment, it means I am preparing to play big shots further. When the right time comes, I want to accelerate completely.”

advantage of lasting till the end

Kohli believes that if he stays at the crease for a long time, the Indian team can easily reach 350 to 360 runs. 'King' Kohli said, “Now I am ready to take more risks. If I score runs and play for a long time, then in the end I can score runs more quickly.” His role in the ICC ODI World Cup 2027 can prove beneficial for the Indian team.

'Free' thinking changed the game

Kohli told that he has reduced the pressure from his mind. The former captain said, “I had to bring some freedom in my thinking. Now I am confident that there are good players around me, who can handle difficult situations. I have to play like this continuously.”
