In a recent discussion about his journey leading up to the upcoming tournament, Kohli reflected on his emotions prior to his World Cup debut against Bangladesh in 2011.<br \/>Kohli&#8217;s debut performance was nothing short of spectacular. He formed a formidable 203-run partnership with <!-- -->Virender Sehwag<!-- -->, becoming the first and only Indian player to achieve a century in their World Cup debut match.His unbeaten 100 runs off 83 deliveries propelled Team India to a total of 370, ultimately securing an impressive 87-run victory.Reflecting on that debut, Kohli said, &#8220;It was against Bangladesh in Dhaka, my first game, and I was nervous. Yes, I will not lie. There is a different sense of excitement in the air when you come for a World Cup, and I could obviously sense that. I was the youngest member of that team and I was getting to play with all these greats of Indian cricket in a World Cup game.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>He continued, &#8220;For me, it was definitely a moment where I was a bit nervous heading into the game and definitely the night before I was quite nervous. But that is a good sign as well because your body is preparing you to enter a situation where you\u2019re alert, you\u2019re not taking things for granted. I think that nervousness helped me to be aware, be alert, and be absolutely precise in the execution of my plans.&#8221;<br \/>The ex-Indian captain has undoubtedly been one of the most exceptional batsmen across all formats, but his performance in the T20 World Cup stands out remarkably. He holds the record for the highest run tally in the tournament&#8217;s history, amassing 1141 runs in just 25 innings, boasting an astonishing average of 81.50.<br \/>As part of their preparations for the T20 World Cup scheduled in the USA and West Indies, India is gearing up to face Bangladesh in a warm-up match on June 1st.<br \/><span class=\"strong em \">(With IANS inputs)<\/span><\/div>\n<p><script>!(function(f, b, e, v, n, t, s) {\n    function loadFBEvents(isFBCampaignActive) {\n      if (!isFBCampaignActive) {\n        return;\n      }\n      (function(f, b, e, v, n, t, s) {\n        if (f.fbq) return;\n        n = f.fbq = function() {\n          n.callMethod ? n.callMethod(...arguments) : n.queue.push(arguments);\n        };\n        if (!f._fbq) f._fbq = n;\n        n.push = n;\n        n.loaded = !0;\n        n.version = '2.0';\n        n.queue = [];\n        t = b.createElement(e);\n        t.async = !0;\n        t.defer = !0;\n        t.src = v;\n        s = b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n        s.parentNode.insertBefore(t, s);\n      })(f, b, e, 'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js', n, t, s);\n      fbq('init', '593671331875494');\n      fbq('track', 'PageView');\n    };\n    function loadGtagEvents(isGoogleCampaignActive) {\n      if (!isGoogleCampaignActive) {\n        return;\n      }\n      var id = document.getElementById('toi-plus-google-campaign');\n      if (id) {\n        return;\n      }\n      (function(f, b, e, v, n, t, s) {\n        t = b.createElement(e);\n        t.async = !0;\n        t.defer = !0;\n        t.src = v;\n        t.id = 'toi-plus-google-campaign';\n        s = b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n        s.parentNode.insertBefore(t, s);\n      })(f, b, e, 'https:\/\/www.googletagmanager.com\/gtag\/js?id=AW-877820074', n, t, s);\n    };\n    function loadSurvicateJs(allowedSurvicateSections = []){\n      const section =  window.location.pathname.split('\/')[1]\n      const isHomePageAllowed = window.location.pathname === '\/' && allowedSurvicateSections.includes('homepage')\n      if(allowedSurvicateSections.includes(section) || isHomePageAllowed){\n        (function(w) {\n          var s = document.createElement('script');\n          s.src=\"https:\/\/survey.survicate.com\/workspaces\/0be6ae9845d14a7c8ff08a7a00bd9b21\/web_surveys.js\";\n          s.async = true;\n          var e = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0];\n          e.parentNode.insertBefore(s, e);\n        })(window);\n      }\n    }\n    window.TimesApps = window.TimesApps || {};\n    var TimesApps = window.TimesApps;\n    TimesApps.toiPlusEvents = function(config) {\n      var isConfigAvailable = \"toiplus_site_settings\" in f && \"isFBCampaignActive\" in f.toiplus_site_settings && \"isGoogleCampaignActive\" in f.toiplus_site_settings;\n      var isPrimeUser = window.isPrime;\n      if (isConfigAvailable && !isPrimeUser) {\n        loadGtagEvents(f.toiplus_site_settings.isGoogleCampaignActive);\n        loadFBEvents(f.toiplus_site_settings.isFBCampaignActive);\n        loadSurvicateJs(f.toiplus_site_settings.allowedSurvicateSections);\n      } else {\n        var JarvisUrl=\"https:\/\/jarvis.indiatimes.com\/v1\/feeds\/toi_plus\/site_settings\/643526e21443833f0c454615?db_env=published\";\n        window.getFromClient(JarvisUrl, function(config){\n          if (config) {\n            loadGtagEvents(config?.isGoogleCampaignActive);\n            loadFBEvents(config?.isFBCampaignActive);\n            loadSurvicateJs(config?.allowedSurvicateSections);\n          }\n        })\n      }\n    };\n  })(\n    window,\n    document,\n    'script',\n  );<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/sports\/cricket\/icc-mens-t20-world-cup\/yes-i-will-not-lie-virat-kohli-recalls-feelings-before-world-cup-debut-match-in-2011\/articleshow\/110536555.cms\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NEW DELHI: Virat Kohli is prepared to face the challenges that come with the 2024 T20 World Cup.
