Kohli: Challenge to win in conditions that are not ours


After spending two months in the UK, India is "definitely better prepared" for a five-Test series in England, but Virat Kohli believes that if the visitors are "definitely better prepared" to execute their plans in such conditions Finding a way they can't cross the boundary is "not easy". More than winning the Pataudi Trophy, India achieved a feat under Rahul Dravid in 2007, with Kohli saying the challenge for his team was "those to win in circumstances that are not ours".

This is Kohli's fourth tour of England and second as captain. In 2011 he came on as Yuvraj Singh's replacement during the series but did not play any Tests. In 2014, James Anderson made him feel like the loneliest man in the world. Four years later, Kohli returned as the best batsman in both teams and became the only batsman to score more than 500 runs. India, however, lost the series 4–1 after starting on an equal footing with England.

Three years after that, Kohli's India is rated as everyone's favorite and varied against an England team without Ben Stokes, Jofra Archer, and Chris Woakes. In an interaction with the Indian media on Monday, former India captain Sunil Gavaskar even said that India has the potential to win 4-0 in August and September.

However, Kohli was not interested in looking too far ahead. Asked on Tuesday what it would mean to win a Test series in England, he remained indifferent.

Kohli said, 'It is a very relative question. “I have never really played for any kind of milestone or milestone in my career. Every game in international cricket has been an opportunity for me to test myself and my character and how much I am mentally I am strong and at what skill level I have to be able to stay at this level for a long time. And in this series also things are not going to be different - we are going to play with the same passion, the same commitment, the same faith with which we play every series.

"(Question) Some series matter more than others - I don't believe in these things because then you're choosing what you want to do. It's not honest with the game. For us we want tough cricket, want tough cricket, and want to win in conditions that are not ours. That's the only challenge I see."

India has been in the country since June 2, arriving early to play the World Test Championship final against New Zealand. They had a three-week break after the final, after which they played a practice match in Durham. The time spent also means better adaptation to the English weather.

“We are much better prepared than before.” Kohli said, “This situation allowed us to first adjust to the weather as it can change very quickly and very quickly. Playing under various changes in conditions in terms of weather at the same time - whether it is cloudy, or sunny, how the pitches behave, how the ball travels, how much it swings in the air. All those kinds of things are going to add to our experience that a team that has already played in England already has a lot in common.

“It all boils down to execution in moments of crisis and that comes purely from faith and how badly you want to be in situations that are not easy. As long as we are trying to embrace it, We will answer all the questions thrown at us otherwise you can't play at this level for long if you don't want to be in conditions that are opposite of your comfort zone."

One of the reasons behind the 2018 series loss was how India lost crucial moments to England. Kohli admitted that this is a matter of concern.

"As a team, we wanted to improve. We haven't done well and that's one aspect of the game that we need to improve, which is understanding that when things aren't going your way, there's a loss." How to control. When things are not in your favor as a team, that is one area that we want to keep improving, and the Test matches that we have done well, we have won. It is to execute in those tough moments. It boils."
