Virat Kohli: The Representative of a “New India” in Cricket

The renowned cricketer, Virat Kohli, has rejected the label of being the “most Australian non-Australian”, preferring to define himself as a representative of a “new India” that faces challenges with firmness. The reception that Kohli has had in Australia has been unprecedented, generating great interest in his participation in the tournament. The absence of Kohli in some matches has been a recurring theme, with experts and media analyzing the impact of his absence. Prominent cricket figures have expressed their opinions on Kohli and his influence on the game.

Kohli, for his part, feels comfortable being true to himself. “I have always been myself,” Kohli affirmed. “My personality and character are a representation of the new India. For me, it’s about how we have begun to stand out as an Indian cricket team. My personality has always been this way since day one. This is a representation of the new India, where we want to face challenges and move forward with optimism and positivity.” Kohli also acknowledged the affection that Australia gives to those who perform well on their lands. “I have been touring this place for many years and it is a wonderful place to play cricket. When you perform well here, you earn the respect of the public,” Kohli commented. “The main focus is for the general public to see India perform as a team, which was the highlight of our last tour.”

The Indian team, with its collective approach, seeks to maintain team performance. Ajinkya Rahane, who will assume leadership in Kohli’s absence, has demonstrated a great understanding and mutual respect with Kohli over the years. Kohli trusts that Rahane will play a prominent role in his absence. Kohli has expressed his confidence in Rahane and the team, highlighting the collective effort and mutual understanding they have built over time. “I am sure that he will also do a tremendous job in my absence, but the focus remains until I am here to provide captaincy, leadership and performances as a player in the best possible way, and then, from then on, I am quite sure that Jinks will do a tremendous job. I feel that this is his moment to really step up and perform strongly as an individual and also as a captain.”
