​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.

​'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.

​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.
