There are many reasons people love Virat Kohli. Mine is his absolute certainty that he doesn& #39;t need to change his game, only to improve it, to fit new requirements. https://twitter.com/sidvee/status/1314956714525954050">https://twitter.com/sidvee/st...

How do you look at the needs of T20 batting and conclude, not that you need to develop the switch-hit, the ramp or even the slog-sweep, but that you need to...run harder? This is doubly insane because you already run harder than everybody else.

Surely, for someone with Kohli& #39;s talent it will be far easier to learn how to play the improvised shots at an acceptable level than run 2% faster. Instead, he clings to this - clearly irrational - belief that he doesn& #39;t need to be different, only better than he was yesterday.

This is so attractive because it& #39;s a story of human improvement, of the triumph of the will. Nobody looks at a batsman who hits a 150 kph delivery back over the keeper& #39;s head and goes "I could do that". But we see Kohli win by running 2% harder, and that fills us with hope. <fin>
