IPL is just 7 days away and RCB is going to play their first game against the defending Champions Kolkata.

Virat Kohli goes down the memory lane

 Virat Kohli replicates his performance on a recent Bgt series that happened in January. There has been no hiding where after a great start in the second innings of the first test with the century yet he managed to score only 90 runs in the last 4 matches and the major concern of was Kohli's habit of getting out of side off stump issue. Australian bowlers Scott Boland, Hazelwood, and Starc particularly bowled into that channel continuously where he was getting out. 

Its Australia where Kohli gives his best more often , the tour of 2014 which would be remembered by everyone where he scored centuries in both innings in Adelaide after a tough tour of England. Though that performance was different class compared to this innings of Virat Kohli. While speaking at RCB Innovation Labs, Kohli also said that he is at peace with whatever happened during his probable last tour Down Under.

He said If you ask me the intensity of how disappointed I've been... for me the most recent Australia tour would be the one that's most fresh. So, it might feel the most intense to me. But I can't look at it that way. I might not have an Australia tour again in me in four years' time speaking further he extends saying I don't have the chance to correct it.

So you have to make peace with whatever's happened in your life. Like in 2014 against England I still had the chance to go in 2018 and do what I did. It might not have been the case, Though he said he is not making any retirement announcement , Its fine I still love the game he added. 

India Out Of WTC Final

India lost the BGT series by 1-3 to Australia though it was their first series win after 10 years but India's hope thrashed after their loss. And India lost the chance to go into the final for the first time. But it could mark the end of Virat Kohli's playing test on Australian soil as the next tour schedule commences on the 28-29 cycle which is too far away.

Kohli says further Once you start thinking of the disappointment from the outside, then you start burdening yourself way more. That's something that I've surely experienced in Australia as well. Because I got a good score in the first Test. I thought, right, let's go.

There's going to be another big series for me. It didn't turn out that way. How do you cope with this? For me, it's just about acceptance. This is what happened. I'm going to be honest with myself which I believe the most. But after such a heartbreaking performance the come back in the champions Trophy would have given a small amount of satisfaction.
