"Even when I am going to the ground in the bus, I keep thinking about the shots I am going to play and to which bowler .. Once you train your brain what to do then obviously when you go out there ... You find that perfect zone," he said in an interview to RCB's official website.
Kohli, who holds the record for the fastest century by an Indian batsman in ODIs, said he visualises of how to play certain bowlers before the match.
Talking about his strength, Kohli said controlled aggression on the field is his forte and he channelises it to perform better.
"My strength is a lot of intensity on the field. My strength is aggression, but controlled-aggression now. I try to channelise that as much as I can in the things I want to do on the field," he said.
Kohli, who is the fastest batsman in the world to score 17 hundreds in ODIs, said he does not pay much attention to the encomiums and criticism poured on him when things are going good or bad for him.
Kohli also said he does not think about his past and present performances, but concentrates on doing well in the next game.
"I don't think about what I have done in the past. How well I have performed in the recent matches I played. For me it is always the next game and my focus is to do well," he said.
