Virat Kohli, India's batting maestro, has revealed that his recent break from cricket has given him a profound perspective on his life and career. After withdrawing from the Test series against England earlier this year, Kohli took time off to be with his wife, Anushka Sharma, during the birth of their second child.This was not the first time Kohli had stepped away from the game. In the past, periods of rest have proven beneficial for him, particularly when he has faced lean patches. Upon his return to the IPL this season, Kohli has been in scintillating form, amassing a plethora of runs and claiming the Orange Cap."Time away from the game made me realize how much I have been blessed with," Kohli said in an interview with Star Sports. "I mean, where is the limit? You can get a phenomenal hundred, but the next moment, if your family member or child or your partner gets health issues, life takes a completely different turn."Kohli emphasized that nothing in life is guaranteed and that his focus has always been on the process. "I could have never imagined myself in this situation ever," he said. "You kind of understand things were meant to be a certain way. The only thing you could do was work hard and be honest in what you are doing."Despite his years of experience, Kohli's unwavering dedication to the game remains evident. "I never predicted that at this stage, I would have this much performance or I would be at this stage in my career where God will put me in this situation," he said.Kohli's recent break has not only rejuvenated him but has also given him a renewed appreciation for the blessings in his life. He recognizes that his success on the field is only one aspect of a fulfilling existence.
