The 2017 ODI World Cup is set to begin on October 5 in Ahmedabad, and star Indian batsman Virat Kohli will be a crucial part of the Indian team. India participated in the Asia Cup and the T20I World Cup during the course of the previous year, where Kohli played some outstanding cricket and finished as the team’s top run-scorer. He has previously performed well under pressure, and the upcoming international competition anticipates him doing the same.
When discussing Virat Kohli development as a player, AB de Villiers, a former colleague from Royal Challengers Bangalore, said that Kohli learns from his coaches and teammates to get better. The former captain of South Africa went on to say that Kohli was very influenced by Mark Boucher when he was a young man and expressed his excitement to watch him perform extraordinary feats at the ODI World Cup.
“Everyone matures with time, in my opinion. As you develop, you learn a lot from more seasoned players and come to see that they are not only your rivals but also composed, laid-back people.
Virat Kohli is intelligent and has learned from both instructors and teammates.
When Virat Kohli was a young man, Mark Boucher played a significant role for RCB, and I believe that my friendship with him had a positive impact as well. He has the perfect balance, and I can’t wait to watch him shine for Team India at the World Cup,” AB de Villiers remarked on his YouTube account.
In the meantime, Virat Kohli is yet to shown class during the current Asia Cup. In the game against Pakistan, he was dismissed by Shaheen Shah Afridi, and he was not given the opportunity to bat against Nepal. He has the perfect opportunity to come up and perform, just like he did in the previous T20I World Cup, when India and Pakistan square off in the Super 4 of the game.
