Virat Kohli, on the eve of the second ODI against New Zealand at Hamilton, has said that he has learnt to commit wholly to his batting during the recently concluded tour of South Africa.

He said that when the ball comes to you at 140-145kmph, you don’t have much time to decide, so you have to commit to your judgement, whether you are playing a shot or leaving the ball.

When asked whether he is now able to control his aggression or not, Kolhi said that he understands he isn’t 21 anymore. He added that he has matured as a cricketer and knows how and where to drive his energy.

He said that he didn’t try to do anything different during the last ODI, he just played his natural game and wants to continue doing that.
