Talking about the century, VK says he did not expect to score it in T20 format. “I honestly didn’t expect it. I was shocked, as you also mentioned after that. No one expected a century from me in this format after a long time. I was pleasantly surprised, grateful, and honest,” says the 33-year-old star batter. Interestingly, Kohli finished the Asia Cup with 276 runs in five innings.
Virat Kohli on support from team management
The Indian batting great also adds that he got a lot of support from the team management. “Personally, since I’ve come back from a break where I didn’t touch the bat for the longest time in the 13-14 years I’ve played, a lot of things were put into perspective. I got a lot of clarity from you guys and the team management to just allow me to bat. That was very important,” says the former Indian skipper.

“The space I got made me feel very relaxed. When I returned, I was excited to see how I could contribute to the team. Playing this way was important for me because the World Cup is big and if I play well, I can contribute big to the team,” adds Kohli.
‘My role is to play as per the situation’
The 33-year-old Indian batter also said he wanted to focus on his own game and support the team’s cause. “We can play, but my role is to play as per the situation and if it demands, I have to take the scoring rate higher. I should be able to do it. My aim was if I can be in this zone, I can be relaxed because I know if I’m set for 10-15 balls, I can speed up,” says Kohli.

“I’m thrilled that especially from the team’s point of view, I’m back to being in my template I’ve played for a while, which I was going away from because I was desperate to do something that wasn’t my game,” adds the future legend.
