Virat Kohli: “My personality reflects the new India”

Virat Kohli: A Leader Who Embodies the “New India”

In a statement that resonates with the spirit of defiance, Virat Kohli has rejected the label of being the “most Australian of non-Australians.” Instead, he prefers to define himself as a representative of a “new India” that faces every challenge with firmness. Kohli’s reception on this tour of Australia has been unprecedented. The conversation focuses on his impact and the absence he will generate in the matches he will not play.

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

Despite these comments, Kohli remains true to himself.

“I have always been myself. My personality and character reflect the new India. It’s the way we have started facing challenges as the Indian cricket team. My personality has been like this since day one. This represents the new India, where we want to face challenges with optimism and positivity.”

Kohli acknowledged that Australia welcomes those who succeed on their soil.

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

For the team, the main focus is on the public’s desire to see India perform as a team. The focus remains on how they can perform as a team on the field. With Kohli about to be absent, Ajinkya Rahane will take over the team’s leadership. Kohli trusts Rahane and the collective effort of the team.

“Jinks has done a tremendous job in the two practice matches. He seems very calm and knows the strengths of our team and how we should do things”.

Kohli is confident that Rahane will do a great job in his absence, and feels it’s his time to shine and perform at his best as a player and as a captain.
