Virat: Few friends, Less Distraction

The newly-crowned supreme leader of Indian cricket is fiercely focused, not just on the field, but off it too. "Luckily, I don't have too many people in my life that I am close to. I think that helps. If you have too many people and too many friends you speak to, you get distracted and your time management becomes impossible," Virat Kohli told ex-England captain Nasser Hussain in an interview to a British TV channel. Virat Kohli has finally opened up about the technical adjustments he made to his game following a poor tour of England in 2014, where he failed to get 50-plus scores in five Tests. Subsequently, Kohli's form saw a remarkable upswing, beginning with the four hundreds in four Tests on the tour of Australia at the end of 2014 and continuing till now.



On scoring against England
Kohli feels he was under pressure and desperate to score runs in England, leading to errors in his batting technique. "I had put too much pressure on myself before going to England (2014) that I needed to score there. I don't know why subcontinent players are given different benchmarks that we have to perform in certain countries and if you don't do that, you are not considered a good player. "I think it was more about me being desperate to do well in England and then when you don't do well, you start going down mentally," Kohli told former England captain Nasser Hussain in a TV interview.


On technique
"Technique is important but even people with not-that-strong technique have been able to score well there because of a good mindset. The problem with me was that I was expecting inswingers too much and opened up my hip a lot more than I should have done. I was constantly looking for the inswinger and was in no position to counter the outswing," Kohli said the changes were difficult to implement.

A brainchild of The Times of India, the world’s leading English newspapers, Times NIE nurtures progress and innovation. Adapted from the international concept, Times Newspaper in Education program (Times NIE) was initiated in India in 1985.

The Times of India Student edition, a customized student newspaper exclusively for the students, packs a powerful punch in terms of content that leads to a smarter and superior learning experience. The information is crafted such that it finds use in classroom discussions, thus making it relevant and current. It truly gives education a new dimension by fostering the simple habit of reading which in turn paves the way for a confident, informed and aware individual. A newspaper that inspires young minds and equips them to face challenges of today’s world, making way for global citizens.

On a significant scale Times NIE comprises diverse interesting activities and events that boost the child’s passion for learning, while revealing hidden talent.

While you are aware that The Times of India is among the leading English Newspapers across the world, it has consummated its position as an everlasting winner. With several international awards and recognitions to its credit, The Times of India and Times NIE have validated an enduring tradition of setting the highest benchmarks in every respect. We have been awarded with the two most prestigious awards, Times NIE - World’s No.1 NIE program and The Times of India, Student Edition - World’s No.1 Newspaper for the youth in 2006 by the celebrated World Association of Newspapers (WAN).
