There is no substitute to hard work and discipline: Virat Kohli

Virat Kohli has been in great form and he seems have made it a hobby to break records each time he walks out to bat. He along with AB de Villiers helped Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) win 5 out of their 5 matches in a row and with that they earned a place in the finals of the Indian Premier League (IPL).

Despite being in great form with an average of 83.54 in the ongoing IPL season, Virat still feels that there is room for improvement and he believes that there is no substitute for hard work. “Every day is a new day. I always feel that there is a scope for improvement and with every game, I take the plus and the minus as this helps me improvise. There is no substitute to hard work and discipline,” Kohli told PTI in an e-mail interaction.

What different has he been doing to get the kind of performance he has been able to deliver, “I went through the same stuff that every cricketer goes through when he comes in. You are insecure about your place, you make mistakes in your desperation. You want to do really well and you don’t really control yourself on and off the field.”

“But as time progresses, you settle down and make consistent choices in your game as well as off the field which gradually helps you be on the top of the game,” said the Indian Test captain.

After the IPL, he will be hosting a charity dinner in association with the Smile Foundation. “I come from a humble background, thus, understand the importance of charity. It was there in my mind to start something for a long time, to give back to the society and I have time and again come forward to support any cause related to children and youth empowerment,” he concluded.
