Recently, Team India had to face a Test series defeat against New Zealand at home after 90 years. In this series, questions are being raised on the performance of Team India’s two great batsmen Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma.
There is a lot of discussion in the cricket world about Virat Kohli’s poor form and there is talk about his retirement. But in the meantime, former Pakistani fast bowler Wasim Akram has said something big about Virat Kohli, which may upset Rohit Sharma. Let us tell you what he said…
Wasim Akram praised Virat Kohli
India’s star batsman Virat Kohli is being trolled for his poor batting. He is being criticized everywhere and people are constantly raising questions on his performance. Meanwhile, former Pakistan fast bowler Wasim Akram has praised Virat Kohli. He said,
“Virat Kohli is a role model for cricket fans and is a great match winner. Everything from his looks to his way of speaking is great and he is a great leader.”
Wasim Akram may not have taken Rohit Sharma’s name, but breaking his silence on criticism of Virat, he has held the rest of the batsmen, including the Hitman, responsible for the defeat against New Zealand.
Virat Kohli’s performance deteriorated
Kohli, the batsman who played a key role in Team India’s victory in the final of the T20 World Cup 2024, is currently facing criticism. In fact, recently Team India has faced a clean sweep in the Test series at home at the hands of New Zealand. Indian batting has been under question in this entire series.
Especially Kohli’s performance has been very disappointing. In the 10 innings of the last 5 matches, only one half-century has come from his bat, and the audience is yearning to see runs coming from his bat. The last time he scored a century was in the year 2023 during the West Indies tour.
Will have to do wonders on Australia tour
After losing to New Zealand, Team India is now preparing to play the Border Gavaskar Trophy on the tour of Australia. This series starting from 22 November is going to prove to be very important for Team India. If Team India has to make it to the final of the World Test Championship, then it will have to win 4 matches in Australia.
Let us tell you that for the last two times, Team India has been winning on the Australia tour. But this time again it will not be easy to defeat Australia. Once again everyone’s eyes will be on Virat on this tour.
