So, I had to work hard on one thing that could be exposed again and again which I overcame right now this is not the case," he added.Īs he gets ready for the Asia Cup, Kohli knows that he will have to fight these ups and downs which are part and parcel of an elite sportsman's life. I didn't feel like I was batting well at all. "So, that for me is not an issue, which wasn't the case in England (2014). "So, that for me, is actually an easier thing to process because I know that I'm batting well and at times, when I start feeling that rhythm back, then I know that I'm batting well. He feels that when there aren't any patterns, that's the best thing to have happened. However of late, Kohli has got out in every possible manner, to rising deliveries, to fuller balls, to swinging deliveries, to cutters, off-spin, leg-spin and left-arm spin. Right now, as you rightly mentioned, there is nothing that you can point out saying that the problem is happening here," Kohli noted. "What happened in England was a pattern, so something that I could work on and something that I had to kind of overcome.
He then spoke how a pattern of dismissals was detected on that tour and then after technical adjustments scored nearly 600 runs during the tour of 2018. So, this for me, is an easier phase to process, but I don't want to put this phase behind me," Kohli said on Star Sports show 'Game Plan'. "I know where my game stands and you cannot run this far in your international career without having the ability to counter situations and counter conditions and counter different kinds of bowling. The reason being that he isn't having any particular technical problem like one he had during England tour of 2014 when he was poking at deliveries on the off-stump channel. The former India skipper has gone without an international hundred across formats for nearly three years now but he feels that there isn't much scope for course correction. He doesn't find any particular pattern to his prolonged slump in form unlike 2014, but then to succeed in international cricket for as long as Virat Kohli has, it couldn't have happened without his ability to counter adversities.
