It is possible that Virat Kohli has not worked according to expectations in recent months, but if the words of former southern teammate Raina are something to happen, it will still be motivated and is hungry to win the Champions Trophy 2025. Having shared the Costume when India lifted the 2011 World Cup and the 2013 Champions Trophy, Raina, gave an idea of the type of character that is Virat Kohli. He said that Kohli has a different mentality for any other person, and is the first to encourage the team when the chips are low.
“His mentality is very different. He is a good teammate to have in a dressing room, but he is always on the switch. When he practices, he has a different preparation, when the field is performed, provided that the chips are down, the first will be Person to come and say, let’s fight, let’s do fielding, “Raina said, speaking with Star Sports.
Kohli will be part of the team of 15 men in India, since they aim to win a third record title of Champions Trophy.
Raina and Kohli were considered as two of the best Filders in India, and Raina attributed that to the northern mentality of India that they both have. Raina comes from Uttar Pradesh, while Kohli is from Delhi.
“I really enjoyed filming with him because his passion is different because when he is in humor to film and dive, everyone’s attitude changes,” Raina said.
“We Indians from the north, we cannot stand losing. We do not know how to lose. We will not leave until we will die. That is the type of attitude it has,” Raina added.
Before the Champions Trophy and the ODI series of three games against England, Kohli will probably be up to the Delhi Ranji trophy game against the railroads.
If he plays, it will be the first Kohli Ranji trophy game in more than 12 years.
Kohli’s previous Ranji game was on November 12, when Delhi lost to Uttar Pradesh, in a game that also presented characters like Gautam Gambhir and Virender Sehwag on the side of Delhi. By the way, Raina was the Uttar Pradesh captain in that game.
