Matthew Hayden and Virat Kohli (Image Credit- Twitter Recently, former Australian opener Matthew Hayden has given a big statement about former Indian captain Virat Kohli. Ignoring Kohli’s recent Test form, Hayden has said that he is going to perform well in the BGT series. It is noteworthy that for some time now, Kohli’s bat seems to be calm in the biggest format of the game. In the last 12 innings played in Test cricket, Kohli has scored a total of 250 runs at a modest average of 22.72. However, if Team India has to do better in the first match in Perth in the absence of Rohit Sharma, then Kohli will have to come forward and perform. He starts his average from zero: Matthew Hayden Let us tell you that in a recent discussion with Cricket Australia before the start of BGT, Hayden said – Naturally, there should be the hunger that Virat always brings in any kind of competition, and in the history of Test match cricket, it should be more than this. There is no one bigger. He is in the team that has dominated Australia on its own soil for almost a decade. This is an important factor for the place where he has worked really hard. A lot of his impact on the game can be seen not only with the bat in his hand, but also in his confidence in the competition and his fitness level. Hayden further said- So Virat has a lot to play for. Unfortunately, he has not been able to continue his excellent form in recent times. But this season is new and he starts his average from zero. We all know that he is capable of averaging over 50. He is the second greatest player in his country after Sachin Tendulkar. So, I wish him all the best.

Among Harshit Rana, Prasidh Krishna and Akash Deep, I would like to go with Akash Deep. Even though Prasidh Krishna performed very well in the unofficial test match, I feel that the best replacement for Mohammed Shami is Akash Deep. He can be seen bowling lethal bowling in both Perth and Adelaide. Will prove to be a fast bowler for both the teams: Matthew Hayden The former player further said, ‘Fast bowling attack will be important for both the teams. Fast bowlers will prove to be key players for both the teams. The batting lineup in Test cricket has been quite troubled in the last few years.

Matthew Hayden said, ‘We had a lot of discussions about this during the Indian Premier League 2024. During the IPL, we also gave a statement that he is doing a very good job as an opener. In the World Cup, you want a batsman like Virat Kohli to open. Talking about the Barbados wicket, they will enjoy batting here. At this time it is very important that Virat Kohli thinks of reaching the 30-run mark. David Warner and Travis Head batted very well against England in Barbados and now Virat Kohli can also be seen doing the same. An important match between India and Afghanistan will be played in Barbados The best thing about the Indian team is that all their bowlers are in very good form at the moment. They have bowled very well in this tournament so far. Even though Virat Kohli has not been seen batting explosively yet, the rest of the batsmen of the team have played their role very well.

You look for a player like him in the team who is the leader of the franchise, and you want a player like Kohli 100 percent in your team. He just scores runs and this season has been great for him.
