Last few months have been important for the Indian team, highlight the importance of fitness and parameters required to be part of the squad. If players like Hardik Pandya, Virat Kohli are setting new benchmarks in the field of fitness than veteran cricketers like Yuvraj Singh and Suresh Raina are lagging behind. The point has been made to all cricket players when it is about fitness level. India as a team won’t accommodate unfit players anymore, no matter what is their status and past performance. When it comes to T20 cricket, the image which comes to our mind is aggressive hitting, resulting in long tail of fours and sixes by batsmen. However, the role of a sheet anchor, which is precisely discussed in Test cricket and one-day internationals, has equal weightage in slam bang format of the game. It could be different in nature but when an innings is falling apart in T20 matches, one player has to make sure to stay as long as possible to lead his team’s recovery.

Book Description
Virat Kohli, the undisputed monarch of the cricket world today, is no stranger to loss. His biggest support both on and off the field-his father Prem Kohli-succumbed to a cerebral stroke when Virat was only 18 years old. In a fitting tribute that would've made his father proud, Virat returned to the field to continue an innings just a few hours after his father passed away. In Driven, Vijay Lokapally recounts happier times in the journey of Virat's rapid rise to international stardom-an account punctuated with little-known stories from fellow players, coaches, and intimates. Virat is already the recipient of countless accolades including the Arjuna Award, the Padma Shri, India's highest sporting honour-Major Dhyan Chand Khel Ratna, the title of BCCI's 'International Cricketer of the Year' as well as the ICC's 'ODI Cricketer of the Decade'. But for him, it's not about the fame or the money, or the roar of the crowds. Few know of his altruistic nature and his dedication to numerous charities for underprivileged children. What has not escaped the public eye though, is how this wizard of the willow wears his heavy mantle with such insouciant ease. In this revised and updated World Cup edition, readers can now delve deeper into Virat Kohli's cricketing journey with two new chapters, including one dedicated to his performance in the World Cups. Additionally, this edition features new images that offer a visual insight into his career, and an entertaining statistics section that provides fascinating cricketing statistics and records.
