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.

Virat Kohli, the enigmatic Indian batsman, has achieved unparalleled success in his illustrious career. However, he believes that the terms "struggle" and "sacrifice" do not accurately describe his journey to the top.In a recent interview, Kohli shared his perspective on the challenges he has faced. "Honestly, sitting in my position, I cannot use words like struggle and sacrifice," he said. "For me, there has been no struggle and no sacrifice. I am doing what I love."Kohli emphasized that true struggle is experienced by those who lack basic necessities. "Struggle uski hoti hai jisko do waqt ki roti nahi milti hai (The one who doesn't get two square meals in a day, he's the one who's struggling)," he explained.He acknowledged that hard work is an essential ingredient for success, but he believes it should not be glorified as a struggle. "You can glorify your hard work by calling it a struggle, you can put a cherry on top, no one is asking you to go the gym, but you have to feed your family."Kohli expressed gratitude for his privileged position as a professional cricketer. "I am just grateful, actually, I am in a privileged position as I am getting to do what I have always loved to do. I play a sport, which is my profession."He urged people to put their own challenges into perspective. "If you really think about the real problems that people face in life, it's not done. You can't compare getting out in a Test series to someone who doesn't have a roof in his house."Kohli's words resonated with the audience, who erupted in applause. His message highlights the importance of recognizing the true struggles faced by many and appreciating the opportunities we have.Despite his team Royal Challengers Bengaluru's struggles in the ongoing IPL, Kohli remains the tournament's leading run-scorer with 361 runs in 7 matches. His unwavering determination and passion for the game continue to inspire millions of fans around the world.
