Kohli: “My personality reflects the new India” – Statements from the star

Virat Kohli: A Leader Who Embodies the New India in Cricket

The renowned cricketer, Virat Kohli, has rejected the label of being the “most Australian non-Australian.” Instead, he identifies as a representative of a “new India” that faces challenges with firmness. The reception Kohli has received in Australia has been unprecedented, with praise from players, newspapers, and television stations.

Kohli has expressed his authenticity and how his personality reflects the evolution of Indian cricket. “My personality and character represent the new India. We have risen as a team and my personality has always been like this from the beginning,” he stated. The player acknowledged the respect that Australia gives to those who excel in its territory. “When you perform well here, you earn the respect of the public,” commented Kohli, highlighting the anticipation generated by his presence and that of other players like Jasprit Bumrah.

The Indian team’s main focus, according to Kohli, is collective performance and the public’s desire to see India triumph as a team. “All external things are not under our control. The truly simple focus is how well we can perform as a team here,” he added. In the absence of Kohli, Ajinkya Rahane will assume leadership. Kohli fully trusts Rahane and his ability to maintain the team’s intensity. “Jinks has done a tremendous job in the two practice matches. He seems very composed and knows our team’s strengths,” Kohli stated. Kohli emphasized that the team’s success is a collective effort, a shared culture. “I am sure that they will also do a tremendous job in my absence, but the focus remains on providing captaincy, leadership, and performance as a player in the best possible way,” he concluded.
