Recognising mental health struggle
“I have been looked at as a guy who is mentally very strong, and I am, but everyone has a limit, and you need to recognize that limit, otherwise things can get unhealthy for you," he shared on Star Sports. Instagram/virat-kohli
'I didn’t touch the bat for a month'
Around July-August 2022, Virat took a month-long break from cricket. “This period actually taught me a lot of things that I wasn't allowing to come to surface,” he shared. Instagram/virat-kohli

Rediscovering his form
“When I came back relaxed for the Asia Cup, I started enjoying the practice. I started enjoying training again. Which is how I have always played my cricket," he told BCCI.tv. Instagram/virat-kohli
'He took a lovely break'

Be true to yourself
"Even when I am vulnerable, I am not playing well, I am the worst player around; I have to accept it. I can’t be in denial,” he said in an interview. Instagram/virat-kohli
Paving way for others
"I am not shy to admit that I was feeling mentally down. It's not abnormal, talk about it, discuss with people, no one's gonna think you are weak," Virat said. Instagram/virat-kohli
