DTVHINDI‘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.
