Virat Kohli is my idol, trying to add his level of intensity in my own game: Rajat Patidar
Virat Kohli is his idol and he tries to imbibe his intensity in his own game. Patidar received his maiden national side call-up for three-match ODI series against South Africa, which will start from Thursday onwards in Lucknow. "Virat Kohli and AB De Villiers are my idols. They are highly experienced in international cricket. I looked at them and wondered how I would talk to them. But then they talked to me themselves, it was a good moment for me. It gave me confidence. I have learnt a lot from Dinesh Karthik, Virat Kohli, and AB De Villiers in the nets while playing for Royal Challengers Bangalore. Especially Virat, who carries the same intensity in both nets and matches. It feels good watching it and I try to add on that intensity in my own game," said Patidar in a video posted by BCCI.
