Boundaries work for me as I can't hit big sixes: Virat Kohli

Mirpur He is among the most dreaded batsmen in international cricket right now but Indian swashbuckler Virat Kohli says he has made peace with one shortcoming in his game that he cant strike big sixesKohli has hit only 27 sixes in 33 T20 Internationals compared to a whopping 127 boundaries And talking about his game ahead of the Asia Cup starting tomorrow the marauding righthander said he has come to terms with being just a four hitterVirat KohliThe game plan in my initial days in T20 was to get 10 off 10 and then take off But I realised that I dont have the kind of shots to hit big sixes I have come to terms with the fact that I cannot hit big sixes so I focus on boundaries Kohli told mediapersons ahead of Indias Asia Cup T20 opener against Bangladesh here todayOur team has good momentum going into Asia Cup We cannot be overconfident and we have to respect every opposition said Kohli The Indian vicecaptain was all praise for Mustafizur Rahaman the pacer who tormented the Indians during their last visit where they lost the ODI series 12Mustafizur has done really well in the last one year He spices up the game Its important for the game to have bowlers who come in and trouble the batsmen It makes the game more competitive As a batsmen also it becomes more exciting because you think that you have to prepare differently for a bowler who has brought something newKohli also feels that in a tournament like next months World T20 it is very difficult to just focus on two or three particular teams as it can upset the gameplanEvery team is dangerous in T20 On a particular day we are not looking at any team as major threat We will take the challenge very similarly be it any team from around the world thats the way we need to approach a tournament like the World CupIf you focus on two or three teams too much then one tends to lose focus on the rest Every game counts in this format Things can change very quickly momentum is a big factor Both India and Bangladesh are very strong but we are not focusing on strengths of the opposition too much because we need to back our strengths than find out the weaknesses in the opposition to win matchesKohli said he is happy that to have got a threeweek break from the game post the Australia tour It was a good break after a long time I got time to get away from the game Rest was important as I was playing non stop cricket Every cricketers workload is assessed differently If I play 5 games and if I dont make runs then my workload will not be that much compared to someone else So taking all these things into consideration the physio and everyone felt that I should take a break because in the Asia Cup and World T20 we have to play with full intensityIts an important phase so it was good little bit of training rest spending time at home it was a good break all in allKohli was asked about the infamous traffic snarls in Bangladesh but the Indian captain made light of it by saying that he is more focussed on the dew factor then traffic We are more concerned about the cricketing conditions than traffic Wicket does play differently a lot of times and dew can make it almost a onesided game As for traffic I just go off to sleep while we are in the bus he said
