Indian cricket star Virat Kohli opened up about feeling the pressure of performance anxiety after scoring consecutive ducks in recent Indian Premier League (IPL) matches. However, the 37-year-old bounced back with a stellar unbeaten century of 105 runs off 60 balls for Royal Challengers Bengaluru against Kolkata Knight Riders. This was Kohli’s ninth IPL century, breaking the record for most appearances in the tournament. He expressed his frustration at not making an impact for his team in the previous games but acknowledged that failures are essential for growth.
Kohli emphasized the importance of handling pressure and how it can lead to personal development. He credited his return to form to sticking to his natural game and focusing on finding gaps in the field. Despite achieving a milestone with his century, Kohli remains humble and motivated to continue challenging himself at the highest level of competition.
The RCB skipper, Rajat Patidar, expressed satisfaction with the team’s performance as they climbed to the top of the IPL table. He praised the team’s efforts in controlling the game and restricting the opposition’s innings effectively.
