TIL Desk Sports/ The old adage goes that winners don’t do different things, they do things differently. And it has once again come to the fore as India captain Virat Kohli and West Indies legend Viv Richards have revealed in their recent chat that while Kohli feel claustrophobic at the nets, the same problem was also faced by Richards during his playing days.
In the second part of their conversation, Kohli spoke about how he goes into the nets thinking that the is going to stand up against his own bowlers, “not even get anything on the edge and middle everything” before asking if Richards had the same attitude.
“It’s the same thinking for me. You go and try to eliminate the process of getting out,” said the former West Indies captain. “But the nets was very claustrophobic for me, I was never comfortable in it.”Kohli said that he feels exactly the same way. “I prefer having an open centre-wicket net against our bowlers with fielders so that I have a match simulation,” said the 30-year-old.
