“You become more responsible (after marriage). It’s very different from the responsibility you had in your life. You start understanding things much better and you start putting things into perspective a lot more.

“I have become a lot more responsible. That helps you in captaincy as well. It’s only improved my captaincy and me as a human being and as a player,” Kohli replied on being asked how it is to lead a team before and after getting married.

The Indian captain scored 47 against Bangladesh in India’s second warm-up match, after failing to get runs under his belt in the first warm-up game against New Zealand.
