I want to win Asia Cup and T20 World Cup for India: Virat Kohli

Mumbai, May 20 (IANS) Star batter Virat Kohli has expressed his desire to help India win the Asia Cup and the T20 World Cup -- two major tournaments -- scheduled to be held this year.Former India and Royal Challengers Bangalore captain had last scored a hundred in any format in November 2019. He has also had a poor IPL 2022 season but the seasoned campaigner showed signs of returning to form with his brilliant knock (73 off 54 balls), which helped RCB beat Gujarat Titans by 8 wickets on Thursday."I want to win India the Asia Cup and the T20 World Cup, that's the motivation," Kohli told Star Sports."I have to move forward, maintain a balance, get some rest, some rejuvenation, once I'm in the mindset then there's no looking back, and [it's] great fun. My main aim is to help India win the Asia Cup and the World Cup and for that I am ready to do anything for the team," he added.Many experts including former India coach Ravi Shastri had suggested to Kohli to take a break from cricket. Acknowledging Shastri's and other former cricketers' concerns, Kohli hinted that he is open to the idea of stepping away from the game. However, he believes that such a decision is not to be taken lightly and he will mull over it only once he has discussed the situation with the team management and India's head coach Rahul Dravid."It's a very healthy thing to think of especially with the amount of cricket that we play nowadays and the amount of cricket that I have played in the last 10-11 years as I mentioned," he said"It's only a thing of creating a balance and finding that balance which is right for you as an individual moving forward and I'll definitely discuss this with all the people involved - Rahul bhai, the Indian team management, everyone to chart out whatever is best for myself and for the team definitely," he added.
