With the ICC ODI World Cup 2023 approaching, the cricket world's attention is fixed on Indian cricket superstar Virat Kohli. Recently, Kohli made an interesting move by deviating from his team's travel plans, heading from Guwahati to Mumbai while the rest of the squad headed to Trivandrum for a warm-up match against the Netherlands, part of the build-up to the World Cup.

Kohli expressed his enthusiasm for the upcoming World Cup 2023, where India will host the tournament entirely for the first time. He highlighted the special significance of the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai, where India clinched the 2011 World Cup. Kohli stated that he's eagerly looking forward to playing there again when India faces Qualifier 2 on November 2.

While Kohli has been rested for some games this year, fans eagerly await his participation, especially considering he's just two centuries away from matching Sachin Tendulkar's record for the most ODI centuries (49). Despite his absences, Kohli's performance remains remarkable, as seen in his recent unbeaten 122 against Pakistan in the Asia Cup.

Kohli emphasized the importance of workload management in sustaining his performance. He believes periodic breaks help him manage the demands of international cricket and the IPL. He also acknowledged the additional pressure of captaincy and his role in easing the team's transition phase.

As the final squad for the 2023 Asia Cup is set to be announced, all eyes remain on Kohli and fellow veteran Rohit Sharma. Kohli's approach and performance will continue to be closely watched as India prepares for the ODI World Cup on home soil, highlighting the anticipation and pressure surrounding these upcoming cricket events.
