The spotlight is always on Virat Kohli given the kind of high profile cricketer he is. Ahead of the ongoing Asia Cup, he opened up about how he was mentally down and around a month's break away from the sport helped him. He also looked a different batter in the two matches played against Pakistan and Hong Kong in the group stages scoring 35 and 59 runs respectively.

Ahead of the Super Four clash against arch-rivals Pakistan on Sunday (September 4), team India trained hard in Dubai on Friday (September 2).
