With his sheer dedication and god-gifted technique, Virat Kohli has kept motivating the young bunch of cricketers. With the most number of ODI centuries (50) under his belt, Kohli is undoubtedly one of the greatest batters of the generation. Rajasthan Royals’ batter Riyan Parag recently pointed out one particular aspect that inspires him about Kohli. While speaking on The Ranveer Show, Parag said that Kohli does not give in to temptations. Parag even explained how Kohli remains focused on the team’s requirements and manages to control his style of gameplay.
“He is a completely different person altogether. I think now that the stage he is in, he is in complete control. It is a very tough thing to do in cricket to be in control of your game. When you hit a six and 40,000 people cheer, it is difficult to control,” Parag said while speaking on The Ranveer Show, as per Times Now.
