TIL Desk Sports/ India captain Virat Kohli has said handling pressure at the World Cup will be the most important thing and the team will have to play every game with the same intensity as competition is going to be tough.
“There cannot be any room for complacency. That’s why it is the World Cup,” Kohli said during the pre-departure press conference at the BCCI headquarters, here on Tuesday.
“Handling pressure is the most important thing in the World Cup and not necessarily the conditions. All our bowlers are fresh. No one looks fatigued,” he said. The 15-member Indian team will leave for English shores on Wednesday.
“This is the challenge. It’s like top class clubs in the world of football. They maintain their intensity for five months, be it the La Liga or the English Premier League. We have to play every game with the same intensity,” said Kohli who will be captaining the team at the event for the first time.
