Steyn also explained how Kohli’s mindset has changed over time, adding, “In the past, Virat had a set mindset of playing a particular shot. But now, his mentality has changed a lot after retiring from Test cricket. Virat is so good and backs himself so much that he is able to execute the aerial shots time and again. This just shows the class of the man.”Stats also show Kohli has become more attacking in the powerplay over the years. His intent has steadily increased, making him more dangerous at the top.Devdutt Padikkal highlighted how Kohli’s presence helped him play freely during the chase. “When I came out to bat, Virat bhai’s only instruction was to keep the run-rate up and put pressure on the bowlers. My job was to take risks while he anchored the chase. His presence took the pressure off me and let me play freely,” Padikkal said after the match.“The credit for the evolution and improvement of my game goes to our head coach Andy Flower and our batting coach Dinesh Karthik, bhai. They really worked hard on me.”
