Reasons why Virat Kohli for the best
Virat Kohli became the captain of Indian cricket team last week with an amazing batting record highly consistent on the pitch, fast between the wicket and ability to play even better in harsh pressurizing situations. Everyone wonders what the actual difference is between him and other world class cricketers that make him so unique. The making of Kohli to Virat.
Virat Kohli was selected in the senior national team from under 19 national team in 2008 a chubby young man with a lot of enthusiasm but was unable either to score big runs or staying a long time on the crease, he neither was a big hitter nor was fast a runner between the wickets. However, He improved and established himself remarkably one of the best batsmen in the world, way above from player with whom he actually started his inning of the carrier. People always think why he became so inimitable and breaking records every day. Therefore, I decided to write this article about the progression of his career, his devotion toward the subconsciously implanted image of the best batsman and his toiling effort toward his goals.
The Psychology
In sports, most of the best players are most passionate ones, although, for some of the players, it’s not a sports, it’s a war and pitch or ground is their battlefield. Thus, most of best player consider them as a warrior and want to express their prowess in their acquired field. This feeling enables them to harness all the strength needed to go through the path full of thorns and fire, blood and sweat which is mostly away from the ground or camera, and people acquaint it after the player begin to lay his hands on his desired goals. Likewise, for him, he is a king or a warrior who can win wherever he wants.
Fitness & athleticism
Fitness and athleticism are the most essential factors which can make sportsman one of the best by making a player stronger (physically as well as mentally), more flexible, swift and efficient to endure long in the game. Here, Kohli changed his body by moiling himself in the gym by strengthening the body using a five day per week workout plan. I have illustrated his plan in the supplementary.
For an example, this is the astonishing shot he played it his outstanding inning against England on 15th Jan 2017.
He converted a good length ball rising toward his chest to a six with an amazing strength, timing combined with the balance of the body. All he did that he came under the ball, twisted his torso by using power and flexibility of his shoulders combined with the core (abs and back) and finally shifting weight from front to the backfoot that was enough from the hail Kohli to bash the ball outside the boundary line. This is a significant example of his mastery over his body which converts the imagination of his mind to the physical reality.
In past few years, he has increased his speed as well as stamina in between wickets we rarely see him feeling cramped or getting injured. All this is not just coincidence; there is a lot of hard work behind it.
Discipline
It is one the key factor for everyone for success which one can learn by working out on something earnestly and apply the same principle to the normal life. If you want something for the long run then you need to stay true to yourself and this is called as the discipline. Here, Kohli has already mastered his skill of discipline both on his brain as well as on his body. He can run as long as he wants, similarly, he can abstain himself from eating something tasty or some small time wasting instant rewards for nothing i.e. drinking alcohol.
Note: this can be earned by hours and hours of training on himself and devotion similar as a ritual.
Cristiano Ronaldo factor
Virat Kohli has always been a fan of C. Ronaldo as well as Real Madrid. He follows his style and takes him as motivation for hard work as well. There is a lot of similarities in both of them, the aggression, celebration, as well as training.
Ex-English captain Nasser Husain tweeted recently as Virat Kohli is Cristiano Ronaldo of cricket.
