Virat Kohli was last in action during the South Africa series
Virat Kohli last featured in the three-match ODI series against South Africa, which concluded on December 6 with India sealing a 2-1 victory. The 37-year-old was named Player of the Series after scoring 302 runs in three innings at an average of 101.00 and a strike rate of 117.05, including two centuries and a fifty.
While receiving the award, the veteran batter said (as quoted by ESPNcricinfo):
“Just playing the way I have this series has been the most satisfying for me. Feel really free in my mind, whole game is coming together nicely. I've tried to maintain my own standards and make an impact. I can bat long and according to the situation. You have many phases where you feel doubt. You feel nervous, especially in batting where one mistake can cost you."
"It's a whole journey, getting better, becoming a better person. I can realise the negative thinking patterns, knowing and working on that helps the temperament. I'm glad to still be contribute to the team. When I play freely, I know I can hit sixes. Just wanted to push my boundaries and go well. The first innings was the best this series," he added.
The Delhi-born batter’s next international assignment is India’s three-match home ODI series against New Zealand, beginning on January 11.
