Decided To Drop Risk-averse Approach And Play With More Freedom In ODIs: Virat Kohli
Star Sports Network: Shedding the self-imposed anchor role that defined much of his career, senior India batter Virat Kohli on Saturday revealed he has consciously unlocked a new layer of ‘freedom’ in his 50-over batting approach to help India consistently push past the 350-run benchmark.
Kohli, who will turn 38 in November, has been playing ODIs with a renewed sense of vigour. His tally over the past 18 months reflects that freshness - punctuated by three centuries, four fifties, and a score over 90 in his last 10 ODI appearances alone.
"What's changed is, firstly, I promised myself that I'm going to play more freely. I'm not going to worry about the expectations that people might have around me. My role had always been, for a long period of time, that I'm going to stabilise things. I know I can play; I know I can hit shots.
