"They can breathe a sigh of relief"

Popularly known as the ‘Chase Master’, Kohli will walk out to bat on the last day of the WTC final as India need 280 more runs.

“What motivates me is knowing that the opportunity I have every game that I play for India, to make my team win. I don't think in sport there is any bigger motivation than that. I wake up every morning of any game that I play believing that I'm going to be the guy who is going to make my team win,” said Kohli.

“I'm still as excited to be the man that helps my team when I'm batting out there. I want my team to feel comfortable and they can breathe a sigh of relief that I'm out there and (knowing) I can do the job. That's something that I've always taken a lot of pride in and I feel very grateful, as I said, to be in that position where the team can expect that from me. I still wake up every morning believing that I can be the man for the team,” he added.
