“It is very difficult to explain to people how much it is to the ground to return to your family each time you have something that is intense, which happens outside,” said Kohli at the Indian sports summit of the innovation laboratory RCB before IPL 2025, when he asked him questions about the role that his family had played during difficult tours.
“I do not think that people understand the value that it brings to a large extent. And I feel very disappointed on this subject because it is like people who had no control over what is happening is somehow put in conversations and turned off at the forefront,` `oh, maybe they must be held. ””
“If you ask a player, do you want your family to be around you all the time? You will be like, yes. I don’t want to go to my room and stay alone and sulk,” said Kohli. “I want to be normal. And then you can really treat your game as something that is a responsibility. You finish this responsibility and you return to life.
“As, there could be different situations in your life all the time. And that allows you to be absolutely normal. Not in a vague sense, but in a very real way that you finish your commitment, your responsibility, and then you come back to your home, you are with your family, and there is absolutely a normality in your home and I will not miss any opportunity.
“It is naturally diminished,” said Kohli when he asked him about his character on the ground. “People are not satisfied with it either. I don’t know what to do, to be honest. The sooner my assault was a problem, now my calm is a problem. It’s like, I have no idea what to be done, that’s why I don’t focus much on this.
“The kind of person I am, the kind of personality I have, yes, I have tendencies to go too far. And I never moved away from that. But the starting point is, okay, sometimes, I might not be released with good intention, but more often than not, the starting point was care. Which must happen exactly.
“For many people, it may not have been something they are able to treat. But for me, it always comes from the right place. Although the striker, of course, puts me in a different place. Because I have no small regular events for me to be excited. I mean, the end goal is to finish the game.
“My competitiveness has not dropped. So I think that for many people, it is very difficult to treat how competitiveness will be at the same level if the aggression is not.
