Expressing his fondness for the 50-over format ahead of the World Cup, Team India batting maestro Virat Kohli said ODIs have `always brought the best` out of him. The ODI World Cup begins on October 5 in Ahmedabad, and hosts India will enter as one of the favourites despite not winning an ICC title in the past ten years.
Talking to Star Sports, Kohli stressed on the technical challenges and the strategic decision-making skills required to excel in the format, along with the adaptability needed throughout the game. "I love playing ODI cricket. I think for me, ODI cricket is probably the one format that tests your game completely. Your technique, composure, patience, playing the situation, and playing differently in different phases of the game," he said.
