Virat Kohli takes jibe at "his name being used to promote T20 cricket" remark: "Still got it"

"We were not in the country. We were at a place where people were not recognising us. Just time together as a family, just to feel normal for two months. For me, for us as a family, it was a surreal experience. Of course, having two kids, things become totally different from a family perspective. So just the ability to be together, the connections that you make with your older child, it's amazing. I mean, I couldn't have been more grateful to God for the opportunity that I got to spend time with my family," Kohli said at the post-match presentation.
Speaking about how he knows that he has to make changes to his game to keep up with the ever-evolving nature of T20 cricket, he said, "People know I play the cover drive pretty well so they're not going to allow me to hit gaps and with guys like KG [Kagiso Rabada] and Arshdeep [Singh] as well, he's tall. So, I mean, if they're hitting length, you have to create some momentum in the ball. And once you're closer to the ball, you kind of negate the bounce that's going to happen. You meet it earlier. So, I mean, you have to come up with a game plan here and there and try to keep improving your game," Kohli said, before issuing a friendly reminder.
Taking at the dig over his name to be used for promoting T20 cricket, he replied, "I know my name is nowadays quite attached to just promoting the game in many parts of the world when it comes to T20 cricket. But, I've still got it, I guess."

Kohli’s comment is in the context of the concerns over his place in India’s T20I side. With a T20 World Cup on the horizon, Kohli has only played two T20Is for India since November 2022. He has also reportedly been asked to bat more aggressively in the format to secure his place.

RCB’s next match in the 2024 IPL will be against Kolkata Knight Riders on Friday, March 29.
