Having given up the captaincy, the 33-year-old has asserted that he is feeling the pure joy of batting again. Stating that for him to enjoy the game is very important, the former India skipper revealed in a video released by RCB on their social media:
“Somewhere, not that you don’t focus on it, when you have other responsibilities, that (batting) tends to kind of take a backseat. Over a period of time, when you do it over and over again, and your mind is only running in one direction, then you can tend to lose that joy to come and practice. For me, that’s always been the essence of playing cricket. I always wanted it to be alive within me. I certainly feel that joy of just purely coming in and hitting the ball again.”

Which position will Virat Kohli bat in IPL 2022?- RCB will be led by veteran South African batter Faf du Plessis during IPL 2022. He was picked by the franchise at the auction for ₹7 crore and subsequently named captain.
Last year, Virat Kohli declared he would open for RCB, sorting out opening conundrum. But now that he has vacated the captaincy position, it will be new captain Du Plessis’ call. In all probability, Kohli will continue to open with Du Plessis his new opening partner. But Anuj Rawat could be another option for RCB.
