Don't need to explain who I am: Kohli

Virat Kohli is not interested in fighting perceptions about his public persona, something that has been debated endlessly over the years across various platforms.

Asked about his take on how he has been perceived over the years, Kohli seemed nonchalant.

"What I do or how I think, I am not going to take a banner outside to the world and explain that this is who I am and you need to like me or stuff like that. These are things that happen on the outside," the skipper said on the eve of 'Boxing Day' Test.

"I have no control over that. It's an individual choice, what you want to focus on. My focus is on the Test match, winning the Test match and doing well for the team. That's all it is," the outspoken India captain added.
