The former captain of India stated that Virat Kohli’s bombastic celebrations are “a thing of the past” as the Men in Blue set out to win their third global championship. India’s ICC World Cup 2023 campaign gets underway on Saturday in Guwahati with a friendly match against England. Prior to taking on Australia in their season opener on October 8 in Chennai, they play the Netherlands in their second exhibition game.
One of the greatest hitters in history, Kohli had a fantastic run up until 2019 until his form declined. No century was produced by Kohli’s bat between 2019 and 2022. The fashionable right-hander rediscovered his form in the 2022 Asia Cup, scoring his first T20I century and 71st overall in international cricket. Since that time, Kohli has added 77 runs to his total without looking back.
“I’ve learned a lot over the past 2.5 years. Those enraged festivities are no longer common. I’ve received a lot of tips and ideas; people were telling me I was doing this and that incorrectly, Kohli said to the ICC.
No one wants to win the ODI World Cup more than the players, according to Kohli, who discussed expectations at an event in Bengaluru. Since Mahendra Singh Dhoni’s era as India’s captain came to an end, the ICC trophy has eluded India. Although Kohli personally won the competition back in 2011, he has never held the trophy as a captain. India competed in one World Cup after his term expired following the 2021 event in 2022, where they were defeated by England in the semifinals.
Virat Kohli perform in Asia Cup 2023-
One of the best batters in the history of cricket, Kohli is just two hundreds away from matching Sachin Tendulkar’s (49) record for most ODI hundreds. Notably, commencing in 2011, this will be Kohli’s fourth appearance in the mega-event.
I chose all of the movies from my finest performance; they all showed the same starting movements and reach to the ball, and I couldn’t describe anybody what was going on outside of my brain, said Kohli.
While Kohli continues to draw the most crowds, he enters the ICC World Cup 2023 in outstanding form. The most recent of Kohli’s three hundreds, versus Pakistan in the Asia Cup a few weeks ago, was one of his 612 runs in 16 ODIs this year.
ICC Team of the Year 2022-

Player to reach 13000 ODI runs the fastest
During the Asia Cup Super 4 match against Pakistan on Monday, Indian superstar Virat Kohli became the player to reach 13000 ODI runs the fastest.
In order to help India reach 356 for two against their bitter rivals, Kohli completed his 47th ODI century and 77th overall.
The outstanding batsman passed famous Sachin Tendulkar to reach the milestone with a score of 122 not out in only 94 balls, including three sixes and nine fours. Tendulkar hit the 13000-run milestone in 321 innings, whilst Kohli needed 267 innings to do so.
In addition, Kohli joined Tendulkar, Australia’s Ricky Ponting (341 innings), Sri Lanka’s Kumar Sangakkara (363) and Sanath Jayasuriya (416) as the only other batters to ever surpass the 13,000 run mark. By accomplishing the milestone in just 277 innings, the 34-year-old outdid fellow Indian veteran Sachin Tendulkar’s previous record (321 innings). Kohli’s double off Shaheen Afridi helped him reach the milestone.
