“Angry celebrations are a thing of the past,” Virat Kohli said of his depressive period prior to the World Cup.

India’s star batsman Virat Kohli will compete in his fourth ODI World Cup as they attempt to capture their third championship at home. With his form restored after a three-year dry spell, Kohli will be the cornerstone of India’s batting order going into the competition. Along with Ravichandran Ashwin, the 34-year-old was a member of India’s 2011 home victory campaign and is the only player still playing today from that group.

The batsman from Delhi has been in incredible form this year, scoring 612 runs from 13 innings at an average of 55.63 and a strike rate of 112.91 while also amassing three hundreds and two fifty-sixes. The former India captain has admitted that he has changed as a result of his terrible period and has learned a lot from it.

“I’ve learned a lot over the past 2.5 years. Those enraged festivities are no longer common. I’ve received a lot of advice and ideas; people were telling me I was doing things incorrectly, according to Virat Kohli, who was reported by the ICC. The great batter went on to say that his poor performance was more a result of his mental state than any technical shortcomings.

“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,” the man continued.

India’s second-highest run scorer in the ODI World Cup is Virat Kohli.

Notably, Virat Kohli has 1030 runs to his credit from 26 innings at an average of 46.81 and a strike rate of 86.70 with two hundreds and six fifties to his name, making him the second-highest run scorer for India in ODI World Cups. In order to help his team finally win the ICC Trophy, the star batter will be eager to have another fantastic tournament with the bat.
