Melbourne: Virat Kohli, out of shape for a long time, showed signs of recovery in the Asian Cup. Subsequently, the player returned with the bat to those who felt that his time was over by winning the team’s first match of the Super 12 of the T20 World Cup against Pakistan. The player almost alone led the team to victory as the old Kohli who gets stronger when he chases.
Former coach and star Ravi Shastri has now come out praising Kohli’s line. Ravi Shastri says he has seen some shots in the match against Pakistan that only Kohli can make and no other Indian player can play them.
Those two sixes from Kohli against Harris Rauf are the biggest shots ever made by an Indian player. I am talking about my cricket experience of so many years and the experience of playing and watching the match between India and Pakistan. After Sachin Tendulkar hit Shoaib Akhtar for a six at the Centurion in the 2003 World Cup, such a shot was never seen again in an India-Pak match. ‘
‘Sachin played brilliant shots in white ball cricket against Wasim Akram, Waqar Younis and Shoaib Akhtar. After that, it was only when Kohli hit two of those shots against a formation with a quality pace. ‘
“Honestly, I was waiting to see such an inning from him. I was confident that Kohli would be able to reach this level in Australia. He has the best record on Australian soil. Here are the shots that best suit Kohli’s batting style. Kohli also likes to play on Australian grounds. ‘
‘The pressure exerted on him by the media and critics created the desire to convince him of his excellence. Anyway, let Kohli have a good time with his cricket ‘- clarified Shastri.
