Slump came at right time: Virat Kohli

DHARAMSALA: During India's tour of England, middle-order mainstay Virat Kohli was literally tortured by James Anderson who exposed the 25-year-old's frailties against the swinging ball. Kohli had little idea about where his off-stump was and Anderson made him his bunny in both the ODIs and the preceding Test matches. His highest score (66) came in a one-off Twenty20 match, in which the English pacer didn't take part.

A resolute Kohli, however, fought back in the Delhi ODI and scored a watchful 62, raising hopes of return to form. The Delhi batsman now feels that he has found answers to his form-related problems. "As a cricketer, when you are in bad form, you discover several unknown facets about your game, your personality. One tends to work harder. During this period, I found out things I needed to improve upon in my game. At the international arena it's all about feeling confident mentally, especially when you are not scoring runs. This (slump in form) came at the right time for me. Now, I feel I am mentally stronger. Runs will come and my cricket is going to improve from now onwards," Kohli said, while interacting with the media.

Expressing disappointment over the way he was targeted, he said, "I have scored consistently, won several matches for India in the last 4-5 years. I hope people keep that in mind while talking unnecessary stuff about me."
