Virat Kohli: “My personality reflects the new India” in cricket

Virat Kohli: The Representative of a New India in Cricket

In an environment where comparisons are inevitable, Virat Kohli has chosen to distance himself from the label of “the most un-Australian non-Australian”. Instead, he identifies as a symbol of a “new India”, facing challenges with determination. Kohli’s reception in Australia has been exceptional, with praise from former players, media, and television networks, who highlight his impact and lament his absence in the upcoming matches.

Kohli is the most Australian non-Australian cricketer of all time.

Kohli, true to his style, prefers to be authentic.

I have always been myself. My personality is a representation of the new India. For me, it’s about how we have started to stand our ground as a cricket team. I want to take on challenges and move forward with optimism.

Virat Kohli

Kohli acknowledges that Australia values those who excel in its territory.

I’ve been touring here for many years and it’s a wonderful place to play cricket. When you perform well, you earn the respect of the public.

The Indian team’s focus, according to Kohli, is on collective performance. External expectations are secondary; what’s crucial is the team’s performance. With Kohli’s departure, Ajinkya Rahane will take over the leadership. Kohli fully trusts in his ability.

We have had a great understanding and mutual respect over the years. Jinks has done a tremendous job in the two practice matches. He seems very calm and knows the strengths of our team.

Kohli is confident that Rahane will lead successfully, highlighting that this is his moment to shine as an individual and captain.
