Team India skipper Virat Kohli, who is the leading run-scorer in the ongoing five-match Test series against England, has said that numbers are inconsequential for him and what he brings onto the field is of utmost importance.
“I didn’t start playing to have numbers and they are inconsequential. People remember your attitude and what you brought onto the field,” Kohli said during an interview with Michael Holding on Saturday.
Having scored nearly 600 runs in four Tests, Kohli once again validated the fact that he is one of the finest batsmen in the world right now.
“I am more focussed on having a very solid life, being happy with life and doing the right things on a daily basis and then everything else seems to be an enjoyable journey as a part of the larger process,” he said.
“For me, the larger picture is always going to be life. If I am solid and doing the right things, then I am much more confident on the field. I don’t play for perceptions, for people or for reputation, I only play to make the team win and that’s why I started playing the sport.”
He also said that as a leader, he is the first one to own up mistakes.
“I am always focused on where my mistakes are and how I can improve upon them. I am willing to accept mistakes even in the best of times so that I can keep on improving.
