Indian cricket team skipper Virat Kohli fondly known as king Kohli rules the cricket with his consistency across formats as he is already the third-highest century-maker overall (70) at the highest level. Kohli who motivates other players to push the boundries recently admitted to have suffered depression while going through a disastrous tour of England in 2014. Kohli's numbers in the five Tests were as follows: 1, 8, 25, 0, 39, 28, 0,7, 6 and 20, at an abysmal average of 13.40 in his 10 innings
Before the tour, Kohli had already become an integral part of Dhoni-led team. However, the 2014 England tour saw his first-ever massive downfall at the international level.during a conversation with former England player Mark Nicholas on his "Not Just Cricket" podcast, Khlo said, "Yes, I did," was his response when asked whether he had suffered from depression at the time. "It's not a great feeling to wake up knowing that you won't be able to score runs and I think all batsmen have felt that at some stage that you are not in control of anything at all," he recalled during a conversation with former England player Mark Nicholas on his "Not Just Cricket" podcast.
He further explained , I felt like I was the loneliest guy in the world. Personally, for me that was a revelation that you could feel that lonely even though you a part of a big group. I won't say I didn't have people who I could speak to but not having a professional to speak to who could understand what I am going through completely, I think is a huge factor," Kohli explained.
Kohli further said. "Lot of people suffer with that feeling for longer periods of time, it carries on for months, it carries on for a whole cricket season, people are not able to get out of it. I strongly feel the need for professional help there to be very honest."
