&ldquo;I have always worked on how I can better myself every day, every practice session, every year and every season. So, that is what has helped me play for this long and perform,&rdquo; Kohli told Star Sports.
&ldquo;I don&rsquo;t think it is possible to perform consistently without having that mindset, because if performance is your goal, then one can get satisfied after a while and stop working on their game.
&ldquo;It has always been my motto to chase betterment and not excellence because I honestly don&rsquo;t know what the definition of excellence is. There is no limit to it, nor there is a set standard that when you reach here you have achieved excellence.
&ldquo;So, I try to work towards betterment every day, so that would be a better word to use. And yes, performance becomes a byproduct, because your mindset is how do I make the team win from here.&rdquo;
Kohli is second in the top run-scorers list in this year&rsquo;s competition, trailing Quinton de Kock of South Africa by 53 runs.
His hundred came against Bangladesh and he is now two short of breaking Sachin Tendulkar&rsquo;s record of most tons in ODI cricket (49).&nbsp;
