This tournament was crucial for us, Kohli said in an interview with skipper Rohit Sharma on the website of India’s cricket board. We got a taste of being under pressure in a knockout stage, but our goal is the World Cup in Australia, and we’re getting better as a team; we’ll learn from the games that didn’t go our way.During the tournament, Kohli discussed his mental struggles and how only former captain MS Dhoni reached out to him when he stepped down as Test captain.
I felt relaxed because of the way you all gave me space, Kohli told Rohit.
Before heading to Australia to try to end an ICC title drought, India will host white-ball matches against Australia and South Africa.
India won the previous Asia Cup in a 50-over format in 2018, but their last ICC trophy was the 2013 Champions Trophy, but Kohli remains optimistic about the upcoming season.
I see the next few months as a great phase where we play quality teams, go to Australia, have preparation time, and I have no doubt we will be absolutely ready come the first World Cup game, he said.
After a long-awaited century, Virat Kohli fires a T20 World Cup warning.
