“The game is more or less in the mind. I have never been a guy who practised a lot even when I was playing all three formats…
“To follow a free mind you need a fit body. For me I stay fit and then I am able to visualise the game in the way that I want to play, which allows me the best chance to go out there and execute in the way I did tonight.”
Two things here:
- ALL the game is in the mind. Visualising (all the law of attraction and manifestation books talk about it) is the key even for Virat.
- For those on the sidelines, they might often wonder what is Anushka’s role in Virat’s career and success. I would say a stable relationship like theirs allows him to have a free mind. We all have seen or been in relationships where even after knowing the person for years we just know that they don’t care (even though we do not accept that). And people like Anushka or wives which do not “actively” do a lot on the field of career are rarely noticed, but that stability is what allows their husbands to go out there and win the world.
