Kohli, who scored his 35th ODI century in India’s 8-wicket win, said he had more eight or nine years of cricket left in him.
Given the stylish right-hander’s form and conversion rate, his remarks after the match come as a warning to bowlers across the world.
“I got 8-9 years left in my career. I want to make the most of it. Want to train as hard as I can. It’s a blessing from God that I’m healthy,” Kohli said. The 29-year-old said there was no greater honour than playing for and captaining his country.
“I’m getting to play for my country. I get to captain my country. It’s an honour. I just look at it that way.
I take it for granted it’s not doing justice to what I have been given by God. I just keep my head down so I can give 120% for the team,” he added.
You want to lead from the front with your performances,” said Kohli. “When they come off so well, along with the effort of the whole team, it’s very pleasing.”
