XtraTime Web Desk: Indian cricket team captain Virat Kohli is touring Australia for the third time in his career. While touring in an interview which was posted by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) the run machine has admitted that he made too many mistakes in his earlier two tours as he was inexperienced and unaware of where he should stop.
“I have been captain of India for couple of years now and it’s all changed a lot for me in the last year and a half or so where I have had to understand myself better and I guess that’s a gradual change. But the one thing is that, I have always been myself. I have never tried to be someone else because of the opinion. Hence, I learned from my own mistakes and I realised my own mistakes myself and just kept correcting them through the journey,” Kohli said.
Talking about his current state of mind, Kohli said that it was “Massively different from the last two tours. Especially the first one, I was so bad.” When probed about what he meant by ‘bad’, Kohli added, “I didn’t have a good understanding of where to draw the line, stuff like that. Those are things I won’t say I regret, but those definitely I look at them as mistakes. But mistakes that were important for me to commit, so that I could learn from them. And I was never a perfect mold of a typical old-school cricketer. I always wanted to just find my own way and I guess those things were a part of that journey.”
