Shikhar Dhawan, who has played for Delhi for a long time with Virat Kohli, said on his 34th birthday that discipline, being positive and believing in his ability are the things that set him apart from the rest. Kohli, who had been battling for a long time, returned to form in the ongoing T20 World Cup with three attacking half-centuries, the most spectacular of which came against arch-rivals Pakistan in India’s opening match of the tournament.
“Virat Kohli is doing very well in this tournament, many congratulations to him,” Dhawan said at the ‘India Today Conclave’ here on Saturday. Wishing him a very happy birthday. India are doing well at the right time and I am hoping for a win for the team. Dhawan said, “Virat is a very strong confident player, when you talk to him he is very positive. It all depends on how you take yourself. You can be your best friend or you can be your own victim, it completely depends on you. ,
He said, “He is also very disciplined, he used to eat everything earlier and became very fat but he changed it completely with his will. Along with this his skill brought him success. Asked about the former India captain’s innings against Pakistan, Dhawan said it was more important for a player like Kohli to follow the process rather than focus on critics.
Talking about Kohli’s process, Dhawan said, “When someone is not performing well, you go through a lot of stress. You go deep and go through introspection. Every phase of life teaches you something and it is not about the destination but about your journey. It becomes more fun when one person realizes that it is about traveling.
