“I do not abuse players. I talk to myself; I abuse myself. If I abuse someone, I don't care; no one can say anything to me.”
— Virat Kohli

Simplified Meaning:
When someone feels frustrated or upset, they might say mean things—to themselves, not to others. This quote talks about directing anger or negative feelings inward instead of taking it out on people around you. For instance, if a coach is unhappy with how a game is going, they might criticize their own decisions rather than yelling at the players. This way, they keep the team spirit positive and don't hurt anyone's feelings. It's like when you make a mistake and say, "I should have known better," instead of blaming others. By doing this, they maintain a healthier environment for everyone. This idea suggests that if you're hard on yourself, you can avoid damaging relationships with others.
