Kohli also spoke about how individuals need to take responsibility to keep the game clean, and how he wishes to inspire a generation.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I think authorities are doing as much as they can to keep the sport clean. You obviously cannot go into someone&#8217;s room and tell them not to speak to someone in certain way,&rdquo; said the Delhi batsman, in a conversation with CNN News 18.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;They can have protocols and they can have rules being set up and that&#8217;s how much you can do. Eventually, it&#8217;s up to an individual how he wants to go about his decisions. If individuals chooses to do something wrong, doesn&#8217;t matter how much you control them,&#8221; he explained.<\/p>\n<p>However, from a personal point of view Kohli is glad that he has never been approached or been anywhere near such an activity. &ldquo;No, I have never encountered anything like that anytime in my life fortunately. I love the sport too much. For me, to even explain myself for something that might not even lead to anything. As a cricketer, you feel sad from inside to encounter those situations. Fortunately, I haven&#8217;t and god willingly, I won&#8217;t in future also,&rdquo; the 27-year-old added.<\/p>\n<p>Breaking every other records in sight and starting the year on a high, Kohli chose to stay grounded when asked about his performances and ambitions. He said, &#8220;When I finish, if I can inspire people to take up the sport, if I can inspire children to say that we want to play the sport because we want to be like him, that would make me feel like I have achieved something.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Kohli also spoke of his distaste for people who judge cricketers on their off the field activities, rather than their performances on the ground. &#8220;As a sporting nation, there is lack of patience in terms of judging someone too quickly,&#8221; noted Virat. &#8220;When I came into the team, I had tattoos, dressed up in a certain way, I used to do things I felt were fine but may be not in the perfect mould of a stereotype Test cricketer. When I now see any youngster being judged early for being a bit more flamboyant, I correct them that there is nothing wrong. Please judge him on what he doing on field, not judge him not in his own life or how he is as a person,&#8221; Kohli concluded.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><strong><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" alignleft size-full wp-image-23953\" src=\"https:\/\/indiansportsnews.co.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Virat-Kohli-Test-26.jpg\" width=\"260\" height=\"160\" alt=\"Virat Kohli Test 26\" style=\"margin-right: 8px; margin-bottom: 8px; float: left;\" srcset=\"https:\/\/indiansportsnews.co.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Virat-Kohli-Test-26.jpg 260w, https:\/\/indiansportsnews.co.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Virat-Kohli-Test-26-150x92.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 260px) 100vw, 260px\" \/>New Delhi:<\/strong> Virat Kohli, speaking about the improper practices in cricket, said that players are judged too often for their off-field antics rather than their performances.
