This is not my ego... Why was Virat Kohli forced to say this about his batting?
Great batsman Virat Kohli said that his basic principle is to bat according to the situation of the match while keeping the ego in check. Kohli, one of the most successful batsmen of the current era, recently achieved another feat. He became the first Indian player to score 13000 runs in T20 format. RCB star Kohli said, 'It (batting) is never about ego.
It is never about trying to beat someone. For me it has always been about understanding the situation of the game. This is something I am always proud of. I want to play according to the circumstances.'

He said, 'If I am in rhythm, I would naturally take the initiative to take responsibility. If someone else is playing better, he does so.' Kohli is the highest century and run scorer in IPL. He has scored 8168 runs with eight centuries in 256 matches.
The 36-year-old player said that he understood the needs of this format since the 2011 season.

He said, 'In my first three years with Royal Challengers Bangalore, I did not get opportunities to bat in the top order. I was usually sent in the lower order. In such a situation, I could not succeed on a large scale in the IPL during that time.'
Kohli said, 'I started performing well from the year 2010 and started batting regularly at number three from 2011. Since then, I have performed well with consistency.

Virat Kohli admitted that spending 18 years in the league helped him hone his skills in the shortest format of cricket. He said, 'IPL challenges you in a very unique way because the structure of this league is quite different. It is not like a short bilateral series, it lasts for several weeks and your position in the points table keeps changing. The constantly changing scenario brings different kinds of pressures.'
Summary
Virat Kohli said, 'the tournament challenges you mentally and competitively in many ways which are not there in other formats. It has also inspired me to constantly improve and develop my T20 skills.'
