Virat Kohli Doesn’t Care About Records”: Ex-India Star’s Take On Batter’s Approach For Asia Cup

The clock for the upcoming Asia Cup and ODI World Cup is ticking and the excitement of the fans is also increasing day-by-day. Team India, who will be looking to end their decade-long ICC trophy drought in the World Cup, is not leaving any stone unturned in its preparations. The two mega events are also special as the Indians fans would be eager to witness star batter Virat Kohli, playing blistering knocks and inching closer towards the record of legendary Sachin Tendulkar.

The 34-year-old batter battled through his lean patch and roared back to form in Asia Cup 2022 and hasn’t looked back since then. Virat also showed his batting prowess in the 50-over format as well and smashed two centuries this year and registered a total of 46 ODI tons.

Seeing Kohli in a fiery form, many fans and cricket experts have expressed that the former India skipper is highly likely to surpass Sachin’s record of 49 ODI centuries. However, former India batter Robin Uthappa stated that Kohli will be focusing only on winning matches in the upcoming events rather than breaking any record.

“Virat (Kohli) doesn’t really care about breaking records anymore. We as people and fans are obsessed with it. He would much rather win matches for India irrespective of those hundreds. Virat’s focus will be on winning matches for India in the Asia Cup and World Cup. He doesn’t really care about the records,” Uthappa told Times of India.
