Cape Town: India Test captain Virat Kohli believes that he doesn’t need to prove himself to anyone and is happy at following his processes.

Kohli, who didn’t feature in the second Test due to an upper back spasm, has been in a lean patch of form and hasn’t scored a century in international cricket since November 2019.

“It is not the first time. Let’s not get away from reality, it has happened a few times in my career. England in 2014 was one of those phases. The thing is I don’t look at myself from the lens that the outside world looks at me. The standards I have been compared with have been set by myself. So, they are not an occurrence from outside. More than anyone else I take a lot of pride in wanting to do the best thing and performing regularly for the team,” said Kohli in the pre-match press conference on Monday.

“In sport sometimes things don’t go as you want but as a player and batsman I have been involved in very important moments and partnerships in the past calendar year. Eventually, those moments have been crucial for us in many Test matches. Sometimes your focal point changes, if you keep looking and judging at yourself on the basis of numbers and milestones, you’ll never be happy or content with whatever you are doing,” added Kohli, who has got 27 Test hundreds.

Kohli also said that the experience which senior batters Cheteshwar Pujara and Ajinkya Rahane bring to the team is ‘priceless’. “If you look at the last Test especially in the second, both Jinx (Rahane) and Pujara, the way they batted in the second innings, that experience is priceless for us. Especially, in a series like this where you know these guys have done the job in the past. When you are playing overseas in tough conditions, these guys will always step up with impact performances. We saw that in Australia, the last time we were there and seen that in the last Test as well. These are crucial knocks in crucial scenarios. That has a lot of value.”

Kohli signed off by saying that the transition in middle order should happen naturally rather than being forced upon.
