IPL 2017: Virat Kohli's preparations before a match
Virat says that he always try to keep things simple.
On Saturday, on the eve of the dead-rubber against Delhi Daredevils, the Royals Challengers Bangalore skipper, Virat Kohli was the first to step out of the team bus when it arrived at the Ferozeshah Kotla. Within 15 minutes, the whole team was out along with Kohli to play a round of football to warm up.
When asked about his yoga routine by TOI, Kohli replied, "I do yoga when I am at home. Otherwise, stretching and strengthening exercises are a must for me."
RCB didn’t leave any stone unturned during the practice sessions, with Kohli taking most of the initiative. During the net sessions, it seems that they are the champion team of the tournament.
Earlier this year, Kohli was named as the captain of the Indian team in all the three formats of the game. In the ongoing season of IPL, it was the first time that he has faced a crisis for the first time as a captain in the IPL. Talking about the same, Virat said, "I am not trying anything extra. Just want to keep things simple.”
It has always been seen that Virat has shown some intensity in net sessions. He took just one break I in between his hour long batting session, just to gulp some water. Also, during the IPL, he didn’t talk about India’s preparations Champions Trophy. However, Kohli was confident enough that 10-match losing streak with the Bangalore team didn't affect his morale as the leader.
As a batsman, Virat managed to score just 250 runs in the 9 matches, with 64 being his highest score. However, some other Indian batsmen have fared no better -Ajinkya Rahane, Yuvraj Singh, and MS Dhoni also have struggled. India openers Rohit Sharma and Shikhar Dhawan are the only two Indian batsmen ahead of Kohli in the run-scorers.
