“When you reach Virat’s level, the pressure and expectations take the front seat while enjoyment takes the back seat. I want him to enjoy the game and tell youngsters how to be Virat Kohli. When he goes out to bat, he should occupy the crease and spend three to four hours. Even if Virat scores zero, he will still be Virat Kohli. He will never be a lesser player. His achievements are very big. He should occupy the crease, and if he does that, he will score runs” he added.
Harbhajan offered a simple solution to Kohli. He asked the ace batter to occupy the crease. He claimed that if Kohli starts spending more and more time on the pitch he will get back into his rhythm and score runs.
