Whenever Virat Kohli comes to bat, every fan thinks that he would be smashing a ton. Even when he gets out after scoring a half-century, fans don't cherish the same, as he has raised the expectations so high with his prolific performances across all formats of the game.

It's just understanding the situation along the course of just doing the job for the team. Achievements come along. Obviously, I feel very grateful and very blessed to be in this position for having played so long.”
