Virat Kohli said- his T20 game is flourished due to IPL. 36 -year -old Kohli while talking to Jio Hotstar about his IPL debut season, said, ‘When I first played in IPL, I was completely scared. I did not meet any cricketer other than Zaheer Khan and Yuvraj Singh. It was no less than a dream to share the dressing room with veterans like Anil Kumble and Rahul Dravid for a new waist like me.,
Currently Virat Kohli is the highest run -scorer in IPL. Royal Challengers are playing for Bangalore in the current season. He scored 67 runs against Mumbai Indians in the last match.
Kohli said-
There was also pressure with excitement in the debut match. I knew that my game is not yet that level. I had to prove myself. My first season did not go well due to pressure, but that experience was fantastic.
Did not get a chance to play in the top order initially Recalling his early years with Royal Challengers Bangalore, Kohli said, In my first three years with RCB, I did not get much chance to bat in the top order. I was usually sent to a lower order. So I could not perform anything special in the IPL initially.
The 2009 season was a little better for me. That year the pitches were favorable for my game, the ball was coming well on the bat and I could play my shots more freedom. This was an interesting phase of my career. From 2010, I started performing well and by 2011 I started batting at regular number three.
IPL challenge of different ways Kohli further said, ‘The IPL challenges you in a very different way. It is not like a small beileral series, it lasts for several weeks and your position changes in the points table. Points tables have different types of pressure from constantly changing positions. When you are at the top, there is pressure to maintain that edge. If you are at the lower rungs, you need additional motivation to return.
If you are somewhere in the middle, where you need to win 3 out of 5 matches, a single defeat can suddenly put a lot of pressure. This nature of this tournament helps you move mentally and competitively. IPL has motives me to continuously improve and develop my T20 game. ‘
