Virat Kohli: Virat’s statement – For the first time in ten years, I did not catch a bat for a month, my aggression was false

Former India captain Virat Kohli has admitted that he was completely mentally exhausted before the one-month break. During this, he also told that during this break he did not even touch his bat for a month. This was the first time in the last 10 years that Virat had not caught his bat for a month. Virat was given a break during the series against West Indies and Zimbabwe and now Kohli is making a comeback in the Asia Cup.

Virat has not been able to score a century since 2019 and there have been constant talks about his poor form. During this, Virat also talked about his workload many times, but no one paid attention to it. For this reason, Kohli left the captaincy of India in all three formats within three months. Now Virat is making a comeback after the break.

Virat said in a conversation with a sports channel

“For the first time in 10 years, I did not even touch my bat for a month. I realized that for some time I was trying to show false energy (aggression). I myself I was explaining that no, you have that energy, but my body was telling me to stop. My mind was telling me to take a break and take a step back.”

Virat further said,

“I have always been seen as that person who is very strong mentally and I am. But, everyone has a limit and you should know that limit. Otherwise things will be harmful for you. During this time I learned a lot of things which I didn’t want to accept. When they came, I accepted them.”

Virat was mentally tired

During this, Virat Kohli admitted that he was mentally exhausted. He said he was not ashamed to admit it. It’s a very simple thing, but we don’t talk about it. We don’t want to appear mentally weak. Trust me, pretending to be strong is worse than admitting weakness.
