Not scoring big was eating me up, says Virat Kohli

TIL Desk Sports/ India’s star batter Virat Kohli has admitted that not being able to make any substantial contribution to team India’s cause for a long time was “eating him up” and he let the expectations overwhelm him a bit because he was desperate to score a big Test hundred.

Kohli hit a splendid 186 against Australia in the drawn fourth Test, ending a three-year wait to get his 28th Test century. In a conversation with head coach Rahul Dravid, the 34-year old Kohli revealed that the weight of expectations became a bit tough to handle for him.

“Honestly, I’ve let the complications grow on me a bit because of my shortcomings,” Kohli told Dravid in the chat, the video of which was posted by the BCCI on its website.
