Krurston made several revelations about Virat Kohli in Raunak Kapoor's show and told that at the very first sight he had recognized the talent hidden in Virat and he was confident that Virat will become a big player in the future. Talking about this, Krurston said, 'When I first met Kohli, I saw a lot of potential and talent in him. He was quite young at that time. But I immediately understood that he was not doing his best, so we talked about it many times. I will never forget when we were playing ODI series against Sri Lanka and he was batting brilliantly after scoring close to 30 runs. Then he tried to hit the ball over the long on fielder and he was out.

Kirsten went on to say, 'I told him,' If you want to take your cricket to the next level, you should have hit that ball for a run on the ground as well as long on. You know that you can hit many balls in the air but there is a risk with it. Krurston is very sure that Virat understood his risk taking advantage as Virat hit a century in the very next match. Not only this, Virat has really reduced the risk factor in his batting.
