Live Hindi News :- As India take on Ireland in the first match of the ICC T20 World Cup in the West Indies, Virat Kohli opened up about his performance in the first match of the 2011 ICC World Cup. This was the 2011 ICC 50 overs World Cup. This was a World Cup match against Bangladesh. At that time, Kohli, as a young player, played in the team with senior players like Sachin, Sehwag, Yuvraj, Raina and Dhoni. Kohli is now playing his 9th World Cup. That is, 4 ODI World Cups, 5 T20 World Cups.
Recalling his ICC World Cup debut, he said, “I was the youngest player in the team. I played with the great players of the Indian team in the World Cup. Yes, I was nervous. Really… no lie. It is true that there was a different atmosphere and excitement during the World Cup. I could feel it. I was nervous before the match. It is good because it means that our body is preparing to go into a worrying state.
Nothing can be guaranteed at that point.So the stress helped me. As said, stress intensified my sense of caution. It helped me execute my plan with precision,” Kohli said. This match was extremely important for the Indian team. Because there was anger against Bangladesh among the fans. When India lost to them in the 2007 World Cup, their criticism and mockery was all over the media. So the goal was not just to beat the Bangladesh team, but the mindset was to make Bangladesh lose badly.
Sehwag scored 175 runs in 140 balls and Virat Kohli scored a century in 83 balls.
Team India 370/4. Bangladesh lost 283/9. Indian team avenged the 2007 World Cup defeat in front of that furious Bangladesh crowd. Munab Patel 4 wickets. Zakir Khan 2 wickets. History was made again, India won the ICC ODI World Cup for the second time under Dhoni's leadership. Now Virat Kohli has no reason to remember that match during the T20 World Cup in the Caribbean.
