"If I look back at my whole journey, then it is nothing short of a dream-come-true for me, Kohli said after being named Player of the Match in Vadodara. I have always known my abilities, but I also knew I had to work extremely hard to get where I am today. God has blessed me with far more than I could ever ask for. I look back at my journey with a lot of grace and gratitude, and I feel really proud of it."
"If I am being brutally honest, the way I'm playing right now, I'm not thinking about milestones at all, the former captain said. In his 17th year in international cricket, he continues to reinvent himself. Kohli said he now aims to make the most of the first 20 deliveries after coming in at first drop. He said he has tweaked his approach of late to counterattack early in his innings and put bowlers under pressure."
Virat Kohli became the second-highest run-scorer in international cricket with 28,068 runs across Tests, ODIs and T20s, surpassing Kumar Sangakkara's 28,016 and trailing Sachin Tendulkar's 34,357. Kohli scored 93 in the first ODI against New Zealand to steer India to a 301 chase, winning by four wickets with six balls to spare. The innings represented his fifth consecutive fifty-plus ODI score and continued a prolific phase in his 17th international year. Kohli describes his journey as a dream-come-true, expresses pride and gratitude, and has adjusted his approach to counterattack early after arriving at first drop.
