Recently, in a candid conversation at a promotional event in Bengaluru on Monday, August 28, Virat Kohli insisted that even after 15 years, new challenges still excite him, and the latest challenge in his career is the ODI World Cup at home later this year. He said:
“Any challenge in front of you, you look forward to it. When difficulty comes in front of you get excited. You don’t shy away from it. After 15 years I still like encounters, and the World Cup 2023 is one (challenge). It excites me, I need something new to, you know, propel me to another level,”
