It is difficult to play international
Virat told, Mark Boucher saw me playing in the first season of IPL. He discovered my weaknesses without saying me, such as if I want to go to the next level, what I have to do.
Boucher took me to the nets. He said, you need to work on a short ball. If you cannot bridge the ball, no one will give you a chance in international cricket. Boucher told me, ‘When I come to comment in India after four years, then I want to see you playing for India. If this does not happen, you will do injustice to yourself. ‘
I stayed awake till 5 in the morning: Kohli
Virat, the highest scorer of IPL, also talked about the India -Pak match before his career. He said that at the Champions Trophy 2009 Centurion I tried to hit a six against Shahid Afridi, but was caught out on long off. After this, I could not sleep. I kept awake till 5 in the morning, staring at the roof.
Virat was dismissed for 16 runs in his first Indo-Pak match.
