  • Tendulkar is highly impressed with Kohli.

    Virat Kohli’s determination to work on any weaknesses has made him the batsman he is today, according to Indian legend Sachin Tendulkar.

    Kohli, 29, sits second in the Test batsmen rankings after amassing 5, 554 runs in his 66 Tests to date. However, he will be aiming to fare much better with the bat in the five-match Test series against England, beginning on Wednesday, after scoring a disappointing 134 runs in 10 innings on the 2014 tour.

    Former team-mate Tendulkar continues to be impressed with Kohli’s qualities and insists his desire to improve his batting makes him stand out from the crowd.

    “The best part about him is that the moment he realises there are areas he needs to work on he is immediately back in the nets working on those things,” Tendulkar was quoted as saying by Sky Sports Cricket. 

    “A player can only move forward if he accepts – and it requires a lot to accept and admit: ‘Okay, these are the areas where I have not done well and I need to go out and change these things’.

    “He is in a good space. All he needs to do is try and be in the same space. His method of preparing himself before a tour, before a game is really nice. He should continue with that. There are going to be ups and downs, there could be bad tours, but that’s not the end of the world.”
