Indian captain Virat Kohli said he felt "tired" in the middle of a thousand against the West Indies in the second ODI match, playing with extreme heat and humidity in Port of Spain, but was drawn because one of the top three Indian players had to wait a long time to reach the winning streak.
Kohli finished his 45th season in ODI. He surpassed one hundred and fifty-five points, leading India to 279 wins for 7.
"Our goal is always that one of the top three makes the difference," Kohli told Yuzvendra Chahal on Bcci.tv after the match. "Shikhar [Dhawan] and Rohit [Sharma] have done well in the last few months, I did it when I had the opportunity, and today, as they do not even have major brands, it was important to stay longer to reach 275-280.
Although I was tired after my arrival at 60-65, the situation was such that I had to play longer and had to force myself to work harder for the team. When you think of a team, even when you are tired, you find strength from a different angle. But it was difficult, also because it was raining during the day and it was too hot, it was raining too much. "
Reflecting on lifestyle and driving change, Kohli said that not being 100% meant not doing the ruck for your team.
"My mind has always been simple: I have to help the team one way or another, if there is something important to do I want to do it, if there is anything 'interesting to go out, I want to do it,' said Kohli. "I think that each player should make his own way and behave in such a way that on the side of the winners, you can give all your strength.If you do not give all your strength on the field, I do not think you shoot well.
"My lifestyle, my training, my recovery and my diet have all been designed so that I want to help the team in any way possible, so in difficult times like this, when you run very fast and that the forest also knows the circumstances that require your intervention, the [practice]] is useful at this time, and these little things can make a big difference. "
Although Kohli's achievements have overwhelmed him, on the field, he still has the strength to make the template. At one point, he even celebrated Chris Gayle when he surpassed Brian Lara's performance in the ODI match. Kohli put his good mood to be in a better place in his life.
"I'm proud of the field, it's a blessing [to play cricket in India] I'm not the same model as when I'm captain, I have to be fit," he said. "I think it's important to enjoy those moments, if there's music, play, practically playing with opposing players, I'm in the best position of my life, and that's why I'm starting to play as soon as I hear music.
