Meanwhile, Kohli spoke about his game and how he approaches match situations during the live session. He told Tamim, “To be honest, I never doubted myself in-game situations. Everyone who is human has doubts and weaknesses. Have their negatives. So, in practice during tours, if you haven't had a good session you feel you don't have that flow.”
He added, “Yes, doubts creep in then and it's at the back of your mind. The key is to keep going and get into that zone until you feel that it was just a distraction. If I believe I am good enough, then I am good enough.”
The Indian captain has also stressed the need to individual keep holding their own natural game while looking to improve their game. The star batsman further added, “My advice is even if you try a lot in practice, do try out new things in one or two games to check if it works or not. Because if you execute it under pressure in match situations then you get a different kind of confidence. Practice prepares you but the execution in the match makes you confident.”
Kohli signed off by saying, “Key is to have an open mind when it comes to improvising. I hear a lot of players say this is my natural game and I play like this but if opposition figures you out, you have to improve and stay a step ahead. Learn, process information, and execute.”
