India captain Virat Kohli on Thursday said that playing all three formats of cricket for so many years is not easy. Speaking in a candid chat with former England captain Kevin Pietersen on Instagram Live, Kohli said that he keeps taking breaks in between to maintain his schedule. “I have been taking breaks, honestly. I felt like I was doing too much last 2-3 seasons. I take breaks every now and then, T20 matches, or ODI series here and there. I don’t wanna miss Test cricket, honestly,” he said.

He further added: “There were a few T20 cricket matches in between I felt which had no relevance. I have spoken about it at press conferences. I have said that you don’t wanna have matches in which you feel zero motivation or energy. I don’t like to play like that.”
