“I have always worked on how I can better myself every day, every practice session, every year and every season. So, that is what has helped me play for this long and perform,” said Virat Kohli on Star Sports. 

“I don’t think it is possible to perform consistently without having that mindset because if performance is your goal, then one can get satisfied after a while and stop working on their game. It has always been my motto to chase betterment and not excellence because I honestly don’t know what the definition of excellence is”, he added. 

“There is no limit to it, nor is there a set standard that when you reach here you have achieved excellence. So, 1 try to work towards betterment every day, so that would be a better word to use. And yes, performance becomes a byproduct because your mindset is how do I make the team win from here,” he further said in the interview.
