We are determined to make our fans proud with our performance: Virat Kohli
Star India batter Virat Kohli sounds determined to contribute towards making an aspiration a reality for cricket fans by helping his team win the upcoming World Cup 2023 at home. Following clinching the Asia Cup 2023 title by beating Sri Lanka in one of the most one-sided finals in the tournament's history, Kohli said the unwavering fan support is what fuelled the Men in Blue to end the trophy drought and go for the coveted CWC crown.
A batter like none other, Kohli has been India’s backbone for over a decade, having scored more than 13,000 runs in ODIs, averaging 57.39, including 47 centuries and 65 fifties.
Kohli is the only member from the 2011 World Cup-winning batch picked for this year’s edition. With memories of lifting the World Cup at the Wankhede Stadium still fresh in his and everyone’s hearts, Virat said this Indian Team is ready to create new memories for them.
"The passion and unwavering support of our fans is what fuels our determination to win the World Cup," Kohli told Star Sports.
"The memories of past World Cup victories, especially the iconic 2011 win, are etched in our hearts, and we want to create new memories for our fans.
