India vs Windies 2018: Virat Kohli speaks on the importance of the ''REST''

Finally, Virat Kohli speaks on the rest for Asia Cup 2018. It was a red-hot debate during his absence in the Asia Cup with Pakistan games on the line. However, everything went down well with India clinching the tournament and the commanding victories over Pakistan as well.

Meanwhile, the Indian skipper is back from the rest and raring to go against Windies in the first Test at Saurashtra Cricket Association, Rajkot. He termed that he is refreshed now to play the game again.

Rest is something mental and physical aspect – Virat Kohli

The Indian skipper in the recent press conference ahead of the first test revealed that he is rejuvenated. He cited that the rest was important for him as he played with all the intensity in England and South Africa series.

Further, Virat Kohli explained that people misunderstood the term Workload by relating it to the number of games the individual play. He cited Hardik Pandya’s recent injury as an example for it.

”Yes, definitely, I am feeling rejuvenated again. It was a mental and physical mould. The thing is because of the intensity with which we spent in South Africa and England. People usually talk about the workload but they don’t understand the concept of the workload. They think if I score zero, it isn’t a workload but if I bat 6 hours, it is a workload,” Virat Kohli explained.

”Few teams and individuals took it in a different way. They don’t know what exactly the term Workload means. The trainer and physio took the decision. Because you saw Hardik Pandya going down. You never know from the outside. I too experienced some back problems in South Africa. Looking at the World Cup, these things really matter to consider,” Virat Kohli inferred.

However, Virat Kohli has got valid points in his kitty while explaining the reason behind the rest for the players. As Virat said, the rest for the players in quite important with the ICC World Cup 2019 is about to make its way.
