He highlighted the technical challenges, strategic decision-making, and adaptability required throughout the game.
Virat said, “I love playing ODI cricket. I think for me, ODI cricket is probably the one format that tests your game completely. Your technique, composure, patience, playing the situation, and playing differently in different phases of the game.”
