India Vs Pakistan: The Game of Mind And Matter Asia Cup 2022 

Even as India and Pakistan geared up for yet another contest, this time in the Asia Cup 2022 in Dubai on Sunday, Virat Kohli was on, discussing several issues related to his mental make-up in the recent past, as well as how big a break from cricket it was for the former India captain. It was an insight into the man’s thought processes and how he has dealt with the constant pressure of the limelight and expectations, not made any easier by his lean form and evident hesitancy as he went in to bat in some recent matches. Quite a fascinating viewing.

Mental health has been quite an issue among athletes off late, with many top stars from various fields taking time off to get away from all the pressure and rejuvenate themselves. Some have even decided to get away from it all for good.Kohli is at the crossroads. His career as an India player can’t possibly be too long now, and with mental pressures and physical exertion always taking a toll, it is always a situation of diminishing returns.

So, we hope that we get to see the best of Kohli again, where he finds the freedom of mind and matter to cross the boundaries of hesitancy and stride forward the culmination of his cricketing career once again like a colossus.
