SYDNEY: Indian skipper and master batsman Virat Kohli Wednesday played down fears that routine back spasms may just obstruct his stellar career, insisting all gamers get "niggles" and they had been "nothing new".
Kohli received remedy from the physio on day two of the Melbourne Test against Australia last week, appearing to be in ache simply before he was out for 82 within the first innings.
He has a up to date history of back problems and was pressured off the sphere right through the second one Test in England previous this year.
But the 30-year-old, widely considered the best batsmen across all 3 codecs of the game and crucial to India's success, said it wasn't a significant worry.
"I've had this issue since 2011, it's nothing new," he said in Sydney forward of the fourth and ultimate Test against Australia.
"I've been able to manage it because of the physical effort I've put in over the past few years. And when you have a back that has these issues you can only maintain it that way."
The passionate Kohli, who admits he is obsessed with profitable cricket suits, added that he was "not too bothered" about the problem.
"If the workload gets high it can get into a spasm, I mean you don't necessarily get serious issues, you get fine in two or three days," he said.
"I'm not too concerned with it, you just have to manage it physically and stay ahead of the injury and I have been able to do it for now."
"I am sure I will in finding alternative ways and extra options to keep countering that.
"I imply, it's unimaginable to keep going with out niggles and I feel it's wonderful to have a few niggles right here and there. You simply need so that you could set up it."
The prolific Kohli has been at the forefront of Indian cricket for a decade, playing 76 Test and greater than 200 one-day internationals.
