On the ground, Virat Kohli is a ball of energy and a captain in his own right: Suryakumar Yadav

Kohli gave it his all on the pitch and never wavered in intensity, even if he was having trouble with his form. Teammate Suryakumar Yadav praised Kohli’s work and said that he possesses a lot of energy. The cricketer from Mumbai went on to say that even though he wasn’t playing well, he was still participating in team gatherings and practise sessions, which demonstrated his leadership qualities.

Star batsman Virat Kohli of India enjoyed a typical T20 World Cup. Although he struggled to score runs with the bat, the 35-year-old had the right intentions. Although his performance in the final was deeply troubling, the former skipper rose to the occasion and helped India win by seven runs by delivering against South Africa. Additionally, he was named Player of the Match in recognition of his remarkable 76 runs off 59 deliveries.

No matter what he does, he is a ground-level energy powerhouse. As you can see, he didn’t achieve the outcome he was hoping for until the championship game, but he carried himself on the pitch and participated in all team activities, practice sessions and get-togethers. In his own way, he was a leader, Suryakumar said to The Indian Express.

Suryakumar Yadav talked about how he needed to get fitter in order to play with Kohli.

Arguably the fittest player to ever wear an India shirt is Virat Kohli. It might not be simple for some cricket players to turn ones into twos and twos into threes, but he enjoys doing that. When it came to batting with him, Suryakumar said that at first it was difficult for him and that he subsequently began working with Kohli to match his effort.

“I batted alongside him most of the time during the bilateral series and the World Cup in 2022, when I made my debut. That’s when I knew that if I had to bat alongside Virat Kohli, I had to be at least as fit as he is because he can score two runs quickly by pushing the ball through the gaps before hitting a four.

“I instructed Soham Desai, the strength and conditioning coach, to maintain my training schedule concurrently with his. Because there are days when I’m not in the mood to train, my body is tired, or I’m not psychologically prepared. Thus, those forty minutes in the gym will fly by while you watch him,” Suryakumar continued.
