NEW DELHI: Modern-day great Virat Kohli secured his 50th ODI century, surpassing legendary Sachin Tendulkar, and played a pivotal role in India's emphatic 70-run victory over New Zealand in the World Cup semifinal at the Wankhede Stadium. Batting coach Vikram Rathour commended Kohli's exceptional understanding of his role in the team, highlighting that the star batter requires minimal attention from the coaching staff.
Rathour, speaking to the media after India's historic win, acknowledged Kohli's cricketing acumen, stating, "He (Kohli) understands his cricket, and we just help him prepare. If he needs to ask anything, he comes and asks; otherwise, we let him be. He knows what he has to do now, that he needs to get in the right mindspace, and he is in a good mindspace. He bats the way he wants to."
