This is not my ego … Virat Kohli was forced to say this on his batting – it was Never About Ego Virat Kohli Statement on Personal Ambitions IPL 2025

New Delhi: Great batsman Virat Kohli said that his basic principle is to bat according to the circumstances of the match while controlling the ego. One of the most successful batsmen of the current era, Kohli recently achieved another feat. He became the first Indian player to score 13000 runs in the T20 format. RCB star Kohli said, ‘This (batting) is never about ego. This is never an attempt to beat anyone. For me it has always been about understanding the situation of the game. This is something that I am always proud of. I want to play according to the circumstances. ” He said, ‘If I am in rhythm, I would naturally take the initiative to take responsibility. If someone else is playing better then he does it. ‘ Kohli is the highest number of centuries and runs scorers in the IPL. He has scored 8168 runs in 256 matches with eight centuries. The 36 -year -old player said that he understood the needs of this format since the 2011 season.

He said, ‘I did not get opportunities to bat in the top order in my first three years with Royal Challengers Bangalore. I was usually sent in the lower order. In such a situation, I could not succeed on a large scale in the IPL during that time. Kohli said, ‘I started performing well from 2010 and started batting regularly in third order from 2011. Since then I have done well with continuity.

Virat Kohli admitted that spending 18 years in the league helped him to enhance his skills in the shortest format of cricket. He said, ‘IPL challenges you in a very unique way because the structure of this league is quite different. It is not like a small bilateral chain, it lasts for several weeks and your position in the points table changes. There are different types of pressure from the constantly changing scenario. ‘

He said, ‘The tournament challenges you to pursue mental and competitively in many ways which is not in other formats. It has also inspired me to continuously improve and develop my T20 skills. ‘
