Virat Kohli also expressed what it means to him personally to win a test series in England. He said:

“For me personally, it means nothing more than winning a test match or a test series anywhere else in the world. As I said, for me these things are not anecdotes in my career or milestones in my career. We step onto the field and we compete and we are looking to win every test match. That’s what matters more to me because again that’s a culture. These are results.”

The Indian skipper, Virat Kohli further added the culture in the team is what is important to him. He said:

“For Indian cricket yes it will be a huge thing. We’ve done it before, we can do it again. But this time culture is what is more dear to me and I will do everything in my ability. Even If we lose a test match I want us to go and not surrender or try to save a test match on day 3 or day. That for me is just not acceptable.”

“So for me as I said, milestones don’t matter at all if I had played for milestones in my career probably wouldn’t have half of what I have right now, so my mindset is pretty clear and for us, it’s just pursuit of excellence,” added Kohli.
