Following his remarkable performance in the match against Punjab Kings at the Chinnaswamy Stadium, Virat Kohli shared insights into his two-month hiatus from cricket, during which his wife Anushka Sharma gave birth to their second child. Kohli's absence during India's home Test series against England allowed him precious family time away from the limelight.
Speaking at the post-match presentation ceremony, Kohli expressed gratitude for the opportunity to spend quality time with his family in a setting where they went unnoticed. He emphasized the joy of being together as a family and building connections with his older child, describing the experience as surreal.
During his break, Kohli cherished the anonymity of being treated like any other person, away from the celebrity status that accompanies his cricketing career. He described the return to public life as a stark contrast, with the sudden recognition feeling overwhelming after two months of anonymity.
Kohli also expressed appreciation for the unwavering support he receives from fans, particularly in Bengaluru, where he has represented Royal Challengers Bangalore since the inception of the IPL. He emphasized the significance of creating memories and the organic bond that has developed over the years between him and the fans.
While acknowledging the need to adapt his game to the dynamic nature of T20 cricket, Kohli remains confident in his abilities and is committed to evolving his approach to the game. Despite his reputation as an ambassador for T20 cricket, Kohli maintains that he still possesses the skills to excel on the field.
