Trying to preempt the opposition and looking ahead by a few overs while at the crease are some of the methods Virat Kohli uses to great effect in limited-overs cricket. Signed Michael Jordan Jersey . He is so good at it that succeeding in balancing his natural game with batting for survival in the first Test was a revelation to him.On the final day of the Rajkot Test against England, with India slipping to 71 for 4 soon after tea on a pitch that had begun to take sharp turn, Kohli had to keep things simple.My biggest challenge was to not think too much about the situation that I was in, Kohli said. I think to find that balance was a revelation.Sometimes you tend to overthink, thinking too much about where the bowler is going to bowl or what he is going to do next to get you out and how much time is left in the day. Rather than that I was just focusing on one ball at a time and trying to take my mind off the situation.Not thinking too much actually helps a lot in that particular situation. You need to put your mind off and back on as soon as possible, and to play that one particular delivery. So I think that was something that was a challenge for me which I was able to overcome in the second innings and that gave me more pleasure as a batsman than scoring a big hundred or getting a big score.There has been pressure on the Indian bowling unit after they had to deal with a pitch not entirely to their liking in Rajkot. Amit Mishra was picked as the third spinner keeping in mind the batting-friendly history of Rajkot, but he came out of the Test - his first in three months - conceding more than four runs an over in both innings. He told bcci.tv that he felt under-prepared. Kohli came to Mishras defence on the eve of the second Test in Visakhapatnam, saying the odd bad day can happen to any bowler and that when judging a player, his willingness to fight mattered more than statistics.Obviously in a series where you are playing against a top side, there is very less room for grooming people as such, if you get what I am saying, Kohli said. You need to figure out as a captain how comfortable you are with the guys you are going to take the field with and how mentally prepared and aware they are walking into the field and how confident they are of picking up those wickets for you. What you mentioned is something that can happen to any bowler, being out of rhythm or not having a good game. But eventually you have to figure out over a span of two or three days how the individual is feeling, how he is behaving, what his energies are like.So it is very important to observe all those things walking into a game against a top side because you need 11 players who are on the same page and who are aware and ready to go into battle. You cant have people who are not quite there mentally. Those are the things we figure out as a management group and obviously we would like to take the best possible 11 onto the field and the best bowlers who are mentally ready to pick up 20 wickets for us.

LOUIS -- St. https://www.sportsstarsjerseys.com/tom-brady-jersey/ . - Connor McDavid scored 53 seconds into overtime as the Erie Otters came from behind to defeat the visiting Guelph Storm 4-3 on Saturday in Ontario Hockey League action.Rollerblading and jumping off walls is probably not the safest preparation for an Olympics six months away. They are two activities pole-vaulter Holly Bradshaw loves to get stuck into, but shes resisting the temptation as she plots her domination in Brazil. Having already produced the qualifying mark, the 24-year-old from Preston should be on the plane but its crucial she stays fit after a number of niggling injuries.So how will the Sky Academy Sports Scholar spend the next few months? What other hobbies is she avoiding ahead of the Olympics?Here are Hollys thoughts.....  1. WITH SIX MONTHS TO GO, SUM UP YOUR FEELINGS IN THREE WORDSExcited. Focused. Determined.2. WHO IS YOUR OLYMPIC HERO AND WHY?I started focusing on pole vault in October 2008, straight after the Beijing Olympics where I watched many British athletes competing and doing well.I wasnt inspired by one performance in particular, I was just inspired by all of it. Watching everyone competing for their country and being in the big stadium looked amazing and thats when I knew I wanted to try to do it for myself.  Holly impressed at last summers World Championships in Beijing 3. WHAT DOES THE OLYMPICS TRULY MEAN TO YOU?It means the world. Just to be at an Olympics is a massive honour. Representing your county at the highest possible level is such a privilege. To be at my second Olympics would be amazing.4. WHAT DO YOU THINK MAKES AN OLYMPIC CHAMPION?Utter commitment to your sport. Displaying the right attitude at all times whether at training or at home. An Olympic champion does all the right things it takes to become the ultimate champion. 5. WHAT ARE THE THREE MOST IMPORTANT ITEMS YOU WILL PACK FOR BRAZIL?My poles, glue and my coach Scott Simpson, of course.6. THERE ARE AROUND 268,000 MINUTES BEFORE RIO. WHAT ARE THE THREE MMOST IMPORTANT THINGS FOR YOU IN THAT TIME?Staying healthy and injury free. Michael Jordan Jersey. Enjoying every minute and making sure Im having fun along the way. Its such a privilege to get the chance to be at an Olympics so you need to make sure you are enjoying yourself and not getting beat down with all the pressure and expectation.Making sure every minute counts. If Im about to do something that isnt going to help my in my preparations for Rio then I just dont do it. It stops me doing anything stupid - which Im partial to.I love playing tennis, I love rollerblading (Im not allowed to do it though) and jumping off walls! I just do wild stuff like that without thinking! Hollys coach Scott Simpson is on her list of most important things to pack for Rio! 7. HOW DO YOU TRY TO STAY CALM WHEN THINKING ABOUT THE OLYMPICS?I just stay focused on what I need to do and not think too much about the Olympics. You just need to try to see it as any other competition as getting worked up about it can be so detrimental.I focus on a day at a time - what training I have to do, what I need to focus on during the session, making sure Im doing everything right away from the track,That way I know Im doing everything I can and wont have any regrets.WHATS COMING UP FOR OUR SCHOLARS..............JAN 16 - MARCH 5: Siobhan-Marie OConnor, AustraliaFEB 3-5: Jack Bateson, Bocskai tournament in HungaryFEB 3: Mark English, racing in Dusseldorf FEB 4: Rio Olympics - 6 months to goFEB 6-7: Elise Christie, World Cup in DresdenFEB 13-19: Quillan Isidore, training camp in Zolder, Belgium Also See: About the Scholarship Meet the athletes Blogs Videos Galleries ' ' '
