After Team India’s defeat in the World Test Championship final, leading Indian batsman Virat Kohli has been actively engaging with his fans on Instagram. Kohli has been sharing videos, pictures and most notably inspirational quotes to raise the spirits. During the WTC finals, he posted frequent motivational messages, and after the loss, he shared a quote from Chinese philosopher Lao Tzu.
Continuing his trend of thought-provoking messages, Kohli recently shared a quote from English author Alan Watts.
The WTC final proved to be a disappointment for Kohli, with him scoring 14 and 49 in two innings. Despite a better performance in the second innings, his dismissal on the final day raised questions over his shot selection. Attempting an audacious cover drive on a wide delivery outside off stump, he edged the ball out, caught by Steve Smith in the slips.
Kohli’s shot selection has drawn significant criticism, with Indian batsman Sunil Gavaskar being particularly vocal. However, amidst the criticism, Kohli’s choice to share reflective quotes on social media highlights his determination to find inspiration and motivation.

As one of India’s most influential cricketers, Kohli’s approach to dealing with criticism and taking inspiration is commendable. Instead of being disheartened by the defeat and the comments that followed, he is actively seeking the wisdom and strength to face the challenges ahead.
Kohli’s social media presence reflects his willingness to face change, adapt and keep growing as a cricketer and person. These quotes serve as reminders that embracing change is essential to progress, both on and off the field.
