Earlier, Virat only played in one ODI against Australia in the recently passed three-match ODI series. Kohli ended up scoring 56 runs although the Indian team suffered defeat in the contest.
"The last two and a half years have taught me a lot. Those angry celebrations are a thing of the past. I have had many suggestions, lots of advice has come my way; people were telling me I was doing this wrong, that wrong," Kohli said, as per ICC.
"I picked out all the videos from the best time I had, same initial movement, same approach towards the ball and it was just what was happening inside my head, I wasn't able to explain it to anyone," he added.
This might be the last World Cup for Kohli as he is in his mid-30s. He will be looking to break all the records and help India seal the trophy.
