After scoring his 76th century in the India vs West Indies Test (IND vs WI 2nd Test), Virat Kohli says that he enjoyed his innings to the fullest. He loves to stand up for the team in times of crunch. Also, Kohli has described the Port of Spain cricket ground as one of his favorite overseas cricket grounds. Virat has expressed his feelings while talking to the broadcaster after his brilliant century innings.
At the end of the second day’s play, Virat Kohli said that “I really enjoyed myself, I was in the rhythm I wanted to be in. I have always seen it as an opportunity to stand up for the team under pressure. I involve myself in challenges so you get the best.” Virat said that “I took my time and when I went to the ground, I saw that he (West Indies bowler) was bowling in good areas. That’s why I had to take time. The outfield was also not as quick as it should have been.
On the question of not scoring a century on foreign soil for five years, he said that “These are things spoken by others. I have scored 15 hundreds overseas so far, not a bad record. I have scored more centuries away from home. What is important to me is that I perform to the best of my ability. We have played hardly 30 matches on foreign soil and in that I have scored a few half-centuries.” Kohli said that “I want to contribute in whatever way possible. If I make 50, it feels like I have missed 100, if I make 120, it feels like I have missed a double hundred. These figures and records have no meaning in 15 years time. He will only remember whether I made an impact or not.”
i can bat for three hundred balls
On taking his singles and doubles he said that “It is easier for me to convert one run into two runs and I never miss that opportunity. I am not the person who will wait till I hit a lot of boundaries in 10 balls. If I hit six fours, I am already batting on 90, it takes the pressure off me. My fitness helps me switch between formats easily. I think I can bat till 300 balls and have a good strike rate.
This is Kohli’s favorite cricket ground, revealed
At the end of the second day’s play, Virat Kohli also told which foreign cricket grounds he really likes. Naming his favorite grounds, he said that “I love Adelaide in Australia, Burlingame in South Africa, Port of Spain and Antigua in the West Indies.”
