Despite doing well in all other countries, India captain Virat Kohli is under pressure to make amends after scoring only 134 runs in 10 innings four years ago. He dismissed any notion that he needs to prove himself in England.
“I am not in a frame of mind to prove myself in any country. I just want to perform for the team. I want to score runs for the team and take Indian cricket forward,” he told a news conference on Tuesday.
“What gives me clarity is to believe in my game. It boils down to belief, otherwise even on a flat pitch in India, you will get out even if the ball is doing nothing. You must believe you can score a big hundred on a green wicket as well.
“Over the last few years I have been more comfortable in my head space and how I think about the game, my own game as well. I am pretty confident of my ability and that is what I am going to focus on.”
