IPl 2025: For almost a decade, India and the Royal Challengers' leadership between Bengaluru and the sight on its batting was a bit of pressure. That is why my game also affected. As a result, I forgot to enjoy cricket, so the Indian team batsman Virat Kohli made it clear that he finally decided to quit the captaincy in life. He was speaking in an interview. Kohli had resigned as T-2 captain after the World Cup in the 5th. He also left the RCB captain.
A year later, after the defeat against South Africa, he left the Test captain, Kohli said, “I had reached the stage in my career where it was difficult to focus consistently. There was a time when it was too hard for me because a lot was happening in my career. I had been leading India for seven to eight years. I led the RCB for nine years. I played any match, but I had a lot of expectations in batting. I didn't even know that I was struggling to focus. If this was not the captaincy, it was happening in the batting.
I always thought of him. It was very difficult for me and finally, it affected me. Kohli took a one -month break from cricket in 2 and during that time he did not touch the bat. He said that there was a time in their lives when they were struggling to be happy in life. That is why I left the captain, I thought it was important for me to be happy for me if I wanted to survive in this game.
I needed to be in my life where I could stay comfortable and play my cricket, without any criticism. It is not possible to guarantee easily access to the senior team in the under -19 World Cup. With the determination and the support of the then captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni and coach Gary Kirsten, he was able to get the third largest batsman in the team. I was very realistic about my ability because I saw many of many people playing. I didn't even think my game was around his game. I just had determination. If I want to win my team, I would be ready to do anything. Coach Gary and Dhoni helped me a lot.
