“I never consider earlier numbers. I’ve already put a lot of stress on myself. Despite playing impact knocks, I don’t always give myself enough credit. As a result, I don’t give a damn what people say outside”. When questioned about his dismal record against SRH, Kohli responded, “Because that is their opinion”.
When asked about the criticism he has received for his mid-130s strike rate. Kohli didn’t forget to mention how much responsibility he has taken on for his team in both franchise and international cricket.
“You know how to win cricket matches when you are in that situation yourself. It’s not like when I play, I don’t help my team win games. I’ve been doing that for a very long time”. Kohli won the title of “Player of the Match”. And said, “I take pride in playing according to the situation”.
