‘Everyone is used to scoring so many centuries’ Sunil Gavaskar on comparing Virat Kohli with tennis greats
Recently, Virat has scored the 30th century of his Test career against Australia. Sunil Gavaskar and Virat Kohli (Image Credit- Twitter In the ongoing Border-Gavaskar Trophy between India and Australia, former Indian captain and popularly known as Run Machine Virat Kohli has returned to his old style. Kohli, who was out for just 5 runs in the first innings of the Perth Test match, was seen batting brilliantly in the second innings. Kohli scored the 30th century of his Test career and 81st overall in the match. However, before scoring runs in the first match of this series, Kohli has been in poor form in red ball cricket for some time. Let us tell you that before BGT, when New Zealand whitewashed India 3-0 in the home Test series, Kohli was able to score only 93 runs in that series. On the other hand, now while talking about this brilliant performance of Virat Kohli, former Indian cricketer Sunil Gavaskar has given a big statement. Gavaskar has compared Kohli with tennis greats like Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic and said that when he does not win the title, people think that he is out of form. Sunil Gavaskar gave a big statement regarding Virat Kohli Quoting News 18, Gavaskar said about Kohli – It is like I said in the commentary that Roger Federer, Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal, they are title winners. If they lose in the semi-finals, people say, oh, they are not in form. But if someone else reaches the semi-finals, you will say – oh, what a great performance. Gavaskar further said – Something similar is with Virat Kohli also, because everyone is used to him scoring so many centuries. When he doesn’t score 100, even if he is scoring 70-80, some people say, look, he is not scoring runs. This is the reason why there is such a feeling among the fans. But Indian fans, they are greedy fans. They want their favorite cricketer to score a century.

This is the time when Kohli’s competitive spirit really shines. See this post of Irfan Pathan Why I believe Virat Kohli will excel in Australia: 1️⃣ He thrives against pace.

To say that Rohit Sharma is finished and Virat Kohli is no longer good is absolutely ridiculous: Mike Hussey
Rohit and Virat scored 91 and 93 runs respectively in the three-match T29 series against New Zealand. Mike Hussey (Image Credit- Twitter X) Before the much-awaited Border-Gavaskar Trophy (BGT) between India and Australia (IND vs AUS) starting from November 22, there is a continuous discussion about the form of senior batsmen Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli. In the recently concluded three-match Test series against New Zealand, Rohit and Virat scored 91 and 93 runs respectively. India also had to face 3-0 defeat in the series. After such performances by the current captain and the former captain, the Indian management has been forced to think about the future of both the players in the longest format of the game. On the other hand, amidst all this, a big statement of former Australian cricketer Mike Hussey has come out. Hussey says that it is absolutely ridiculous for cricket pundits to say that Rohit Sharma is finished and Virat Kohli is no longer good. Mike Hussey gave a big statement In a recent conversation with Times of India before the start of BGT, Mike Hussey said – We have seen champion players being dropped from the team many times. Cricket pundits come out and say that Rohit Sharma is finished and Virat Kohli is no longer good. I mean, it’s absolutely ridiculous. He is a legend and a great player. He is a player to be proud of. Hussey further said- If you dismiss them, you will end up having a negative impact on your face, because they will perform well again. They’re so good you don’t want to do that. I think it is foolish to write him off and also to write off the Indian team. Well, now it will be worth watching how these two great players are going to perform against Australia in Australia? However, due to the birth of his second child, captain Rohit will not be able to take part in the first Test match to be held in Perth.

He batted diligently despite the rain, even though the entire team had left the field. However, after some time it started raining heavily, after which Virat also had to leave the nets. Journalist Bharat Sundaresan tweeted on his social media handle and wrote, This seems to be the top-6, based on how they played in the nets before practice was halted due to rain. Virat Kohli did not want to stop batting, the rain had increased in intensity and he had no option but to run away with the rest of the team. Looks even more like this is the top 6 based on how they went in the nets before rain halted practice. Virat Kohli wasn’t keen to stop batting even as the rain got heavier before he had no option but to run off with the rest of the team #AusvInd — Bharat Sundaresan (@beastieboy07) November 19, 2024 Virat Kohli did not see a century in both the last Test series against Bangladesh and New Zealand.

Rahul was injured during the practice session in Perth, but right now he looks in good form and is practicing batting. Devdutt Padikkal can be seen at number-3 in place of injured Shubman Gill. Whereas Virat Kohli will bat at number-4.
