MUMBAI : India's batting talisman Virat Kohli said that a recent run drought had impacted his well-being and that he had been faking intensity to demonstrate that everything was fine.
One of the world's best batsmen in his prime, the former India captain has endured a prolonged lean patch and has failed to register an international century since scoring his 70th in a test match in November 2019. "For the first time in 10 years I have not touched a bat in a month," Kohli told Asia Cup broadcasters Star Sports."I came to the realisation that I was kind of trying to fake my intensity a bit, recently.
England's Stokes said this week that he took an extended break from cricket last year to focus on his mental well-being after experiencing panic attacks following the death of his father almost two years ago.
