Virat Kohli taught me to calm my nerves – Jitesh Sharma

Virat Kohli hasn’t just been one of the greatest players for RCB, he has been a revolution with his performances. Apart from his glittering knocks, Kohli’s ability to inspire younger generations has been one of the key elements of his illustrious personality.

It is hard to define Virat in a statement and RCB’s wicket-keeper Jitesh Sharma took a shot at it on the teaser of RCB Podcast, while spilling the beans on the discussions that Virat had with him.

Jitesh said, “Virat is full of energy and still he knows how to play his game. Virat told me ‘At times, just before the match, you naturally feel that this is not your day.’ He then advised me to manage my energy.”

Elucidating the technical details that Virat shared with him, Jitesh said, “In batting you are feeling that you are not hitting the ball well, come to zero again, think about running hard, try to middle your ball, something these small tricks, he taught me to calm my nerves, think about the game is what he told me.”

Highlighting his position, Virat told Jitesh, “I know I can understand people like you, who come in at number 5-6. They always think about hitting sixes. But with your intensity, you are clear on how to attack. Think about shifting your focus.”
