Virat Kohli showcased his class with an unbeaten century against Pakistan, securing India's spot in the Champions Trophy semifinals. At 36 years old, Kohli became the fastest batter to cross 14,000 runs and achieved his 51st ODI century. Despite speculation about his cricketing future, Kohli focused on his game strategy, emphasizing control and resilience against pressure. His performance drew admiration from teammates and opponents alike, highlighting both his skill and hard work, with Kohli stating the importance of ignoring external noise to maintain his focus during critical matches.
My job was clear to control in the middle overs, not take risks against spinners and take on the pacers. I have a decent understanding of my game.
I wonder how hard he would have worked when the whole world was saying he is out of form but coming into a match which is awaited by the world, he scores runs easily.
Virat loves representing the country, doing what he does the best, which is what he did today. People sitting inside the dressing room aren't surprised with what he did.
It's about keeping the outside noise away, take care of my energy levels and thoughts. It's easy for me to get pulled into expectations and frenzy around games like these.
