Pushed my abilities by focusing on what team needs: Kohli

Along with his immense appetite to score runs, what makes Kohli stand apart from other cricketers is his unbelievable fitness. Speaking about this, the Indian skipper said that he has been able to push his physical and mental abilities by just focusing on what team needs and in that process more runs would have been scored than maybe he would have otherwise.

Kohli says I am not entitled for anything

Virat stated that it is a great honor to represent the country and even after playing for 10 years, he doesn’t feel like he is entitled to anything. He made it clear that you still have to work hard for every single run you score at the international level.

The Indian batsman further added that as a player you are focused on the process and pushing hard for the team when you are down and out, pushing those 10-12 extra overs so that the team can benefit from it and the runs become more anyway.
