Being away from cricket, I was able to learn a lot and come to know about my flaws. I had mentioned a special person earlier too – Anushka, who stood by me in these tough times. She was with me even in my bad times and she saw it all. She kept giving me the right guidance. She taught me to look at things in a new way and because of this, I came back relaxed.

He further said, 'Whatever I have got is because of God and I have no shame in admitting this. To be honest, I batted with all my might and surprised myself. My 60-70 runs were also considered failures which were quite shocking. I can't really tell anything to anyone because I said that God has given me good things in the past. So I am in a position where these things can be talked about.

Let us tell you, that Virat Kohli took a break before the Asia Cup 2022. Kohli had toured England only after IPL 2022, he was neither a part of Team India on the West Indies tour nor the Zimbabwe tour. When Kohli sought rest from the selectors, he was criticized a lot.

King Kohli further said, 'I took a break for some time and then started afresh and the atmosphere of the team also contributed to this. The team kept me relaxed and my attitude right. I was given a lot of advice and suggestions. People used to talk about me and what I was doing wrong. At the end of the day as a person, you know you stand out. People will have their own opinion but they may not feel what you are feeling. I am very grateful for that time and I needed it to change my perspective.
