Ahead of the start of the Asia Cup, Team india batting maestro virat kohli spoke about his preferred format. Before the ODI world cup, virat kohli, who traveled to sri lanka to play the Asia Cup, which will be held between pakistan and sri lanka, made interesting comments on the ODI format. kohli said that although there are currently three formats (Tests, ODIs and T20Is) recognized by the ICC in Tests, he personally likes ODIs. He said that the true strength of a cricketer comes out in that, ODI cricket is what tests a player.

Speaking to Star sports before the start of the Asia Cup, kohli said, 'I love playing ODI cricket. In my personal opinion.. this format tests the mettle of a player. Your technique, composure, adapting your game to the situation and staying calm in tough situations are all possible in this format. As far as I am concerned the ODI format is like a test for a batsman. ODI cricket also brought out the best in me. I will enjoy taking on challenges and playing according to the conditions and playing for my team's victory..'' he said.

It is noteworthy that kohli, who is known as the leader in breaking, is averaging 66 in order to achieve the target. If kohli has 46 centuries in his career, 26 of them have come while batting for the second time. kohli is also the batsman who has scored the most centuries in Chedana. kohli, who played the Asia Cup for the first time in 2014, has played 11 matches in the Asia Cup so far and scored 613 runs in 10 innings.
