You see me standing today, it is because of one person: Kohli dedicates his century to "one person"
Here's what Kohli had to say about his first century knock in almost three years
Dubai: Former India captain and star batsman Virat Kohli on Thursday broke his century jinx and scored his first international century in almost three years.
Thursday’s knock is Kohli's 71st international ton, the one which was awaited by millions of his fans ever since his last century that came against Bangladesh in 2019 during India’s first day-night test at the famous Eden Gardens in Kolkata.
After his knock, Kohli said he was “very blessed” and grateful and that the last two and half years have taught him a lot.
When asked about his relatively calmer celebrations after reaching the three-figure, Kohli said “I am going to turn 34 in November, so the celebrations are for the past.”
“I have put a lot of things into perspective. I was a bit shocked as this was the format I least expected for a century to come anytime soon. It is all God's blessing, I have been working hard and this was just a moment which was very special for me and the team as well.” Kohli further added.
He later dedicated his latest century to his wife Anushka Sharma and their daughter Vamika adding that Anushka has been his pillar of strength and has stood by him during his lean patch.
“I know there was lot of stuff going on on the outside but they really kept my perspective right and I kissed my ring in the celebrations as well, you see me standing like this right now and all the things being put in perspective has been done by one person, who stood by me through all these difficult times that is Anushka. This hundred is specially dedicated to her and our little daughter Vamika as well.” The former skipper said.
“When you have someone next to you, having conversations, putting the things in right perspective like I have been and Anushka has been by my side through these times, time away from the game has taught me a lot of things. When I came back I wasn't desperate, I was grateful for what God blessed me before, people were talking about me not getting a hundred but I looked at how much he has given me already. That really calmed me down and relaxed me.” He added.
Speaking about his return to the dressing room Kohli said the team gave him his space to work on his game and was welcoming.
“I was just happy to come back, six weeks off, I was refreshed, I understood how tired I was mentally and physically, your competitiveness does not allow you to take that call and I wanted to be the best of version of myself for the team. When I came here, when I started playing in the nets, I felt like my old rhythm was coming back and it was about getting those performances in the middle.” he said.
“Since I came back into the team, the team has been open, welcoming, helpful and given me space to work on my game.” He added.

FIR registered against nurse, doc, pvt hospital mgt after finger of infant partially severed
Bengaluru (PTI): A case was registered against the nurse, doctor and management of a private hospital here for alleged negligence after the finger of a six-month-old baby boy was partially severed during the discharge process, police said on Wednesday.
According to police, in his complaint, Vijay Kumar said that on February 19, he took his six-month-old child to a private hospital in Indiranagar here for consultation after he developed fever and cold. As per the doctor's advise, he was admitted for further treatment at about 10.57 am.
He was to be discharged at 3 pm on February 24 and accordingly, the hospital bill was paid while the discharge process was going on in the ward.
At the time of discharge, the nurse on duty removed the drip. While removing the dressing, she allegedly cut the tip of the little finger on the child's left hand. Due to this, the child suffered severe pain and injury, he alleged, as per the FIR.
"Immediately thereafter, the child was taken to the emergency ward, where dressing was done and a plaster was applied. Initially, the concerned staff informed us that it was not a major injury and that since the child is small, it would heal on its own. However, due to their negligence, my 6-month-old child sustained a serious injury to the little finger of his left hand, causing immense pain and damage," the FIR read.
Based on the complaint, a case was registered under section 125 (b) (act endangering life or personal safety of others) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita against the nurse, doctor and the management of the hospital and the matter is being investigated.
