Virat Kohli admitted his current love for cricket and expressed his hope for a vintage comeback during IPL 2023. After a tough IPL 2022 season and a poor tour in England, questions started being raised about his place in the Indian team. It left Virat Kohli to take a break to get some perspective on his struggles. In a video posted by RCB on their Twitter handle, Kohli shared his ambitions for Royal Challengers Bangalore, saying:
“I am just back to playing the way I do. There’s still a lot of room to get to my best which hopefully happens in the IPL if I am able to get to the level I want to play at and help the team and it will be exciting.”
Since September last year, Virat Kohli has achieved several hundred across all formats while representing India. He believes that the break he had was beneficial to his mental well-being. He added:
“It was about rediscovering my love for the game and I could do that only after I could step away from what was happening on the field for so long. I was absolutely exhausted and needed to connect to myself as a human first, not judge myself constantly, and keep myself under scrutiny all the time.”
Virat Kohli shares his excitement about playing at Chinnaswamy
The Royal Challengers Bangalore have had an amazing home crowd throughout the years in the IPL. Going back to their home ground after four years is a massive moment that Virat Kohli is eagerly anticipating. On that, he stated:
“It’s one of the few things in the recent years that I am really excited about. It is special because I know how much the fans want to see us in the stadium and the Chinnaswamy will be lit up again, the crowd will be buzzing and so will the players and it will be special with a special announcement. It will definitely be a day to remember.”
Everyone is anticipating Kohli’s ‘special announcement’ and how it will affect RCB’s current season and future.
