Great West Indies cricketer Clive Lloyd praised Virat Kohli and said that this batsman can achieve anything in international cricket. The former captain of India is in great form at the moment. He was the highest run-scorer in the recent ODI World Cup 2023. When Virat was struggling with his poor form in 2020 and 2021, he had to face a lot of criticism.

Some former cricketers had even said that he should be dropped from the Indian team. AlthoughDespite all this criticism, Kohli kept moving forward and scored eight centuries in 2023. Kohli has scored 80 centuries in international cricket and is 20 behind the great Sachin Tendulkar’s record of 100 centuries.

Lloyd believes that the 35-year-old still has a lot to offer and if he can maintain his form in the times to come, he can achieve great things. Recently, during an event in Kolkata, Lloyd was asked about the chances of Kohli breaking Tendulkar’s record of international centuries.

Responding to the question, Clive Lloyd said, “I can’t say how long it will take, but he is still young and I am sure with the way he is playing he will be able to achieve whatever he wants to achieve.” Can and it would be a great pleasure to achieve it.”

Former West Indies legend Clive Lloyd wants more Test cricket to be played in the international calendar and said there should be at least three Test matches in bilateral series. The former West Indies captain said during the ‘Ekam Awards’, ‘Probably more T20s are being played at this time. I would like to see a little more Test cricket. And if you are playing Test cricket then I would like to see a series of three or five Test matches.

Border-Gavaskar Trophy will start from 22nd November Mitchell Starc (Image Credit- Twitter X) Before the much-awaited Border-Gavaskar Trophy Test series between Australia and India (AUS vs IND), Australian team fast bowler Mitchell Starc has made headlines. It is noteworthy that the first match of this series will be played at Perth Stadium from 22nd November. So, before this match, in a practice session of the Australian team, Starc was seen practicing with a special kind of ball. The ball with which Starc is practicing is red on one side and white on the other. According to cricket experts, this type of ball helps the bowler a lot in maintaining hand-eye balance. By practicing with this type of ball, Starc can gain control over the late movement swing in the match. The pitch curator of Perth Stadium recently said that some grass is expected to be left on the pitch, due to which the fast bowlers can prove to be effective in the match. See this photo of Mitchell Starc viral on the internet Mitchell Starc was seen using a ball that was half red and half white to assist batters in practicing for lateral movement. 📷: Rev Sportz pic.twitter.com/JaKOsHrSMq — SportsTiger (@The_SportsTiger) November 18, 2024 On the other hand, if the latest media reports are to be believed, then Indian batsmen may face a lot of trouble due to late movement bowling at the end of the first Test match to be held in Perth. Perhaps this is the reason why Starc is practicing with a special type of ball before this match to take advantage of this weakness of India. However, this move by Australia could serve as a double-edged sword, as the current Indian team has a lot of bowlers who can work their magic in swing conditions. So if we tell you about Starc’s performance in Test cricket in the year 2024, he has bowled in 10 innings, in which he has taken a total of 27 wickets at an average of 32.25 and strike rate of 49.60. Apart from this, his average in Test cricket against the Indian team is 35.84. However, now it will be worth watching whether Starc is able to reduce his average against Team India in the upcoming series or not?
