Stadium in Bangalore on Thursday. Pic/Ramesh HSThe 22-year-old top order batsman from Delhi, who plays for Royal Challengers Bangalore in the Indian Premier League, yesterday said he would lap up every moment of the T20 league tournament.
"I am not too much worried about fatigue. At this age, I am enjoying the IPL and looking to playing more and more cricket," said Kohli ahead of RCB's opening match against IPL debutant Kochi Tuskers Kerala at the Jawaharlal Nehru stadium here today.
"I am not thinking of rest. Cricket is first priority and I do not think it (fatigue) will affect me too much."
If anything, Kohli only seemed eager to take up additional responsibility. He suggested he might bowl part-time in the tournament. "I am working hard on my bowling but I have to keep working on it," he said.
Coach Ray Jennings said the fourth edition of the IPL would be a new experience for the teams with new players coming in. "The players we have got have their feet on the ground and have superb behaviour on and off the field," he said.
