Virat Kohli on his Milestones and Achievements
When asked about this achievement, Virat Kohli humbly stated that he does not focus on statistics and milestones, as his primary concern is contributing to the team’s success. He also said that scoring centuries in critical situations for the team holds more significance for him than merely achieving personal milestones. He went on to say that the impact he leaves on the field and the contribution he makes to the team’s success are what truly matter in the long run.
“These stats and milestones, if I do them in a situation where the team needs me, for me that’s more special than just ticking the numbers. Honestly, it is going to mean nothing in 15-20 years. It is what impact you left on the field which is more special for me and for the team,” Virat Kohli said.
“I was pretty happy with the way I went about things, took my time. They were bowling in pretty decent areas when I walked. I had to be patient as the ball was getting soft, the surface was slow and the outfield was slow as well. Run scoring wasn’t as fluent as one would like it to be. I had to do the hard yards and because of all these factors it was very satisfying,” Kohli concluded.
