Why does Kohli love cover drives?
In the video shared by BCCI, Virat is seen preparing for a cover drive. He says, 'This shot has been my weakness in the last few years. I have also scored a lot of runs on this shot in the last few years. In the match against Pakistan, I expressed confidence in my shots. Whatever runs I scored in the beginning were on cover drives. I was thinking that let it continue and keep playing my shots by taking a little risk. I feel good when I play such cover drives. Personally, it was a good innings for me. As a team, we also did well. It feels good to bat like this in an important match. A place for the semi-finals was at stake in this match. It feels good to contribute in such a match and help the team win and qualify.'
'Love batting at number three'
Kohli said, 'One thing that always stays in my mind while batting at number three is that I have to maintain control in the middle overs. I do not have to take risks against spinners and score runs against fast bowlers. I feel very good when I finish the match while chasing. I prefer this position. My role in the team has remained the same for the last several years. I try to keep myself calm and always try to make the team win.'
'The atmosphere of the India-Pakistan match was fantastic'
On the India-Pakistan match in Dubai, Kohli said, 'Whenever there is a match with Pakistan, the atmosphere becomes very good. Especially in this area because both the teams have equal fans. It has been a great day for me and the team.' Kohli completed his century by hitting a four against Khushdil Shah and gave India a memorable victory. He said, 'I was happy with the pace of the innings. I like to play like this in ODIs. I have a good understanding of my game and it was important for me to keep criticism away and focus on the game.' After scoring the 51st century of his ODI career, Kohli said, 'It is easy for me to adjust to the expectations about such matches. I kept telling myself that I would give my 100 percent while fielding. That is why I am proud of it.'
