Virat Kohli's 14 years of international cricket have been full of ridiculous highs and alarming downs. At one stage, the talisman was ruling the world of cricket in unprecedented ways, batting ferociously under the tutelage of MS Dhoni to lead the rankings across formats. It was not long before he took over the leadership role himself and took India to new heights, ending up being the country's most successful Test captain of all time. However, in a shock move, the 33-year-old had announced earlier this year he would step down from the role after a 2-1 series loss to South Africa, having already been replaced by Rohit Sharma in white-ball cricket.

Meanwhile, Kohli's knock was also his second consecutive half-century in the Asia Cup having struck 59 in the previous game against Hong Kong. Following a dismal England tour earlier in the year, the Delhite was bombarded with criticism and advice on how to improve his game. However, the batter has admitted he never heeded it since anyone honestly wishing him well would have not taken the public avenue to air suggestions but instead reached out to him individually. The former skipper was extremely candid with his comments and it made for a heartwarming press conference with outstanding insights and revelations.
