Tennis Players' Pressure Comparable To WC Games v Pak: Kohli
Kashmir Observer
|JULY 09, 2025 ISSUE
Drawing parallels between on-field pressure situations in two vastly different games, former India captain Virat Kohli says what tennis players endure week after week can only be compared to the less frequent "intimidation and pressure” that an Indian cricketer faces in World Cup knockouts and clashes against arch foes Pakistan.
Kohli, who has retired from T20 Internationals and Tests, made the comparison after witnessing Wimbledon action with actor wife Anushka Sharma here on Monday. He was in conversation with tennis legend Vijay Amritraj during the day's proceedings.
"I think the experience (in pressure situations) can be similar. But the intimidation factor and the pressure that would replicate for us in a World Cup game, a World Cup match between India and Pakistan or a semifinal or a final of the World Cup, your legs are shivering because of sheer pressure,” Kohli said during the interview telecast on ‘Star Sports’.
