Virat Kohli: The Voice of New India in Cricket<\/h2>\n\nThe renowned cricketer, Virat Kohli, has rejected the label of “the most outstanding non-Australian Australian”, preferring to define himself as a representative of the “new India”. An India that is characterized by its courage in the face of challenges.\n\nThe reception Kohli has received during this tour of Australia has been unprecedented. Former Test players, newspapers, and television channels have focused their attention on Kohli and the impact his absence will have in the three Test matches he will not play.\n\n\n

I don’t seek comparisons with the Australian mentality. For me, it represents how we have begun to stand out as an Indian cricket team.”\n\nKohli acknowledged Australia’s hospitality towards those who excel in their territory. “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,” he commented.\n\nHe also referred to the anticipation generated by Jasprit Bumrah. “Last time he performed very well here. There is anticipation and excitement to see him bowl. The same goes for me, I have been coming here for many years.”\n\n\n

Our focus remains on that. External factors are not under our control. That’s good for the series’ publicity, but the real and simple focus remains on how well we can perform as a team here.”\n\nRegarding his successor as captain, Ajinkya Rahane, Kohli expressed his confidence. “We have had a lot of understanding and mutual respect over the years. Jinks has done a tremendous job in the two practice matches. He seems very composed and knows the strengths of our team and how we should do things. I am sure he will do a tremendous job in my absence.”\n\nFinally, Kohli added: “I feel this is his time to really step up and perform strongly as an individual and also as a captain.”","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
