The weather report has forecasted rain for most of the day. There might be multiple interruptions, so Indian fans will be hoping that the batters don't lose their concentration due to that.

Face the fear, look it in the eye, and say I am going to keep coming at you: Team India skipper Virat Kohli

Dinesh Karthik recently interviewed Virat Kohli for Sky Sports. During the interaction, the Indian skipper talked about the culture he wanted to inculcate in the team during his reign.

In the recent past, we have seen the likes of South Africa and Sri Lanka struggle during the transition period after some of the stalwarts retired from the game.

Virat Kohli opined that he wanted to avoid such a situation for India when it undergoes transition soon. He also advised the younger generation to face the fears head-on to overcome them.

"Everything I have done since I entered the Indian team has always been for the Indian team. How can I improve this environment I am part of? I don't want our players to waste the months and years I wasted trying to figure things out.

"I found the formula for success and I want these guys to pick it up early so that transition with Indian cricket can be very smooth. It should not take youngsters two or three years after the seniors have gone to build a team again.

"Even in the toughest moments, my mindset is simple. Go out there and have fun. Enjoy the moment. Face the fear, look it in the eye, and say 'I am going to keep coming at you. That's how I live my life. I never do anything half heartedly or something I am not convinced about."
