England’s wicketkeeper-Baator Jose Butler revealed an interesting chat with Virat Kohli during IPL 2023, which shocked the Indian Great after being admitted to insecurity about his batting.Speaking to the love of cricket, his new podcast with Stuart Broad, Butler said Kohli’s advice helped him deal with the burden of expectations.“In IPL 2022, I scored 863 runs. But Virat got the record for the most runs (973) in a season, which is unprecedented.
“I thought I would ask him some questions. He had completed his batting. The question was how he manages expectations. In cricket, there is more expectation on someone in the world than anyone – like, one and a half billion people want them to score all the time.“He was very generous over his time. He was very helpful. He said that perhaps a season was the best that I would ever have. I need to accept it and did not try to repeat it. I am putting unnecessary pressure on myself. It is fine. Life is going to recover. It’s going to recover. It’s going to work.“Then he started talking about insecurity that sometimes about their game. He said,” Sometimes I raise my bat and I feel like I don’t know how to play. ““I was like this-this man is definitely the best player of our generation, especially in the format of the white ball. I was very grateful for his time and was grateful to his insight.He said, “So I always say that IPL is the best cricket academy in the world. You choose the minds of legends. It helps you for the next six to twelve months,” he said.
