“I had let complications grow on me a bit because of my shortcomings. The desperation to get that three-figure mark can grow on you as a batter and I let that happen to me to some extent. I am not the guy who is happy with 40-45 runs, when I know I can get 150 and help my team,” Virat said in a video posted by BCCI, featuring Team India head coach Rahul Dravid.

Virat’s commitment to Indian team
Virat further said in the video, that he does not care about the milestones, his sole goal was to score as much as possible for the team.

Not being able to get a big score for the team bothered me as I have always taken pride in performing in different conditions and situations whenever the team needed me. It was never about milestones. A hundred is something that just happens along the way in my goal of batting as much as long for my team and scoring as much as possible,” Virat added.
The India star added that he was happy he “could come out of the situation right before the World Test Championship final” and he would be pretty relaxed now before the summit clash.,
