“What sets him apart for me is his ability to bring that energy and passion to absolutely every game of cricket”, Marcus Stoinis on Virat Kohli sucess.

Australian all-rounder Marcus Stoinis has expressed his admiration for Virat Kohli, recognizing him as one of the most accomplished cricketers in the contemporary era due to his profound self-awareness and strategic approach to the game. Stoinis emphasized that Kohli consistently factors in this self-awareness while executing various aspects of his gameplay, including his on-field confrontations and his ability to engage the crowd.

Kohli, renowned as one of cricket’s most triumphant batsmen in history, is presently gearing up for the upcoming Asia Cup. The tournament is scheduled to take place in Sri Lanka and Pakistan from August 30 to September 17. Following this, India is slated to engage in a three-match one-day series against Australia, preceding their inaugural match in the 2023 World Cup against the same opponent. The World Cup opener is set to transpire in Chennai on October 8.

During an interview with Revsportz, Stoinis lauded Kohli for his exceptional achievements and took the opportunity to delve into the reasons behind the former Indian captain’s remarkable success.

Stoinis said “If you ask anyone, his skills are as good as we have seen probably throughout the history of cricket. What sets him apart for me is his ability to bring that energy and passion to absolutely every game of cricket. He’s figured out what his best version is in terms of performance. It seems like he can channel that and bring that energy every single game.”

“Yes, at times it might mean picking a fight or getting the crowd on his side. But it’s very clear to me that he understands himself, understands what his best version is. He is amazing at getting himself into that mindset every game. That’s a special skill that I don’t think many can do. We all work to that. But that’s something that I see in him that I definitely admire,” the all rounder added.
