I don&#8217;t get tired as much as I used to before. Definitely, I don&#8217;t get satisfied when I get a Test hundred which used to be before, because I used to give too much importance to Test cricket separately. Now I have started to treat it as any game of cricket and I have to keep going on till the time the team needs to,&#8221; said the Delhi batsman.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-60875\" src=\"https:\/\/greattelangaana.com\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/maxresdefault-9.jpg\" alt=\"Fitness is the key says Kohli\" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\" srcset=\"https:\/\/greattelangaana.com\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/maxresdefault-9.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/greattelangaana.com\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/maxresdefault-9-500x280.jpg 500w, https:\/\/greattelangaana.com\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/maxresdefault-9-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Asked how he has been able to maintain consistency across the three formats, he said, &#8220;It is not easy to do especially with the amount of cricket we play nowadays. It is more of a mental thing. I don&#8217;t necessarily focus too much on practice because sometimes you might not get to practice so much.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&#8220;I think mentally you need to focus and think about what you are going to do in the game.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Switching to different formats is the need of the hour in these days&#8217; cricket. I certainly want to contribute in all three formats. That has always been the mindset and I have to prepare in a certain way. It is more mental than going into the nets.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone  wp-image-60876\" src=\"https:\/\/greattelangaana.com\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/maxresdefault-1-2.jpg\" alt=\"Fitness is the key says Kohli\" width=\"573\" height=\"356\" srcset=\"https:\/\/greattelangaana.com\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/maxresdefault-1-2.jpg 1603w, https:\/\/greattelangaana.com\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/maxresdefault-1-2-768x478.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 573px) 100vw, 573px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">He, however, admitted that the Hyderabad pitch was not as testing as other wickets on which he had scored his double centuries earlier.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Indian captain Virat Kohli who he hitting tonnes of runs said that he&#8217;s is no longer satisfied with Test hundreds and his fitness level allows him to play for longer innings and eye bigger scores. &#8220;I worked on my fitness level over the years and I feel I can go for longer periods now.
