(Photo Source: Sony Liv) India’s star batsman Virat Kohli scored 24, 14 and 20 runs respectively in the recently concluded three-match ODI series against Sri Lanka and interestingly, he got out against spinners in all the matches. Meanwhile, former Indian cricketer Aakash Chopra said, Kohli, who is known to be a very good player of spin, misread the line and length against them. Virat Kohli was out LBW in all the matches of the ODI series against Sri Lanka and every time a review was taken on the ball of his dismissal. ODI series In the first match, Wanindu Hasaranga dismissed him, while Jeffrey Vandersay and Dunith Welalage took his wickets in the second and third matches respectively. Kohli’s struggle against spin is not new. In the last few years, he has struggled a lot against wrist spinners and this trend continued in the Sri Lanka series as well. Aakash Chopra gave a big statement about Virat Kohli Regarding this, Aakash Chopra said on his YouTube channel, “Virat Kohli was LBW three times in three innings against spinners. I don’t remember when this happened last time, he was playing the wrong line and also used the review every time. He was not able to put pressure on the bowlers with his batting in the series.” The cricketer-turned-commentator also spoke about Shreyas Iyer, who has also struggled in the series. Iyer made his debut after being dropped from BCCI’s central contract but failed to make a mark in the three-match series. He had a great chance to perform well and cement his place in the squad for the Champions Trophy 2025, but Iyer scored only 38 runs in the series. Speaking about this, Chopra said that he is not sure why good spin players are struggling. He said, “Shreyas Iyer is considered a good player of spin, but he too was unable to counter the spinners twice and got out due to speed once. If the performance of our good spin players is like this, then I don’t know why this is happening.”

(Photo Source: Twitter) Who is best Virat Kohli or Babar Azam?: India’s star batsman Virat Kohli and Pakistan’s captain Babar Azam are both star batsmen of international cricket. Both have scored a lot of runs and fans of both of them always fight on the internet about who is better than whom. Questions are often asked that who is the best among Virat and Babar? Who is the best among the two? Such comparisons are always made. But now the Australian opening batsman has put an end to these discussions. Who is the best among Virat and Babar Azam? He has expressed his opinion on this. Usman Khawaja told who is better between Virat Kohli and Babar Azam? Along with many legendary cricketers, Usman Khawaja was also asked who is the best player between Virat Kohli and Babar Azam. According to him, Babar Azam’s batting style is not like Virat Kohli. But there are some things in which Babar Azam is similar to Virat Kohli. Speaking on Fox Cricket’s YouTube channel, Khawaja said- “He doesn’t always bat like Virat. But when you watch him bat he looks like Virat” Babar Azam was a superflop in the ODI World Cup The ODI World Cup 2023 was held in India and in this mega tournament, Team India had to face defeat in the final against Australia. Pakistan team also came to India for this tournament. But playing under the leadership of Babar Azam, the team could not perform as expected. In this tournament, Pakistan could not even enter the semi-finals. After this match, Babar resigned from the captaincy. But he was once again given the captaincy of Pakistan for the T20 World Cup 2024. This time too he disappointed the fans and team of Pakistan and the team could not even enter the Super 8.

After this, he scored an important half-century in the final of the T20 World Cup 2024 tournament which played an important role in the team becoming the champion.

Why is Virat Kohli not able to score big in the ODI series against Sri Lanka? Former Pakistani player made a big revelation
Virat Kohli scored 24 runs in the first ODI while he scored 14 runs in the second match. Virat Kohli and Basit Ali (Pic Source-X) Virat Kohli, the best batsman of the Indian team, is currently participating in the 3-match ODI series against Sri Lanka. So far, two matches have been played in this ODI series and Virat Kohli’s performance has been very poor in both. Virat Kohli scored 24 runs in the first ODI while he scored 14 runs in the second match. In both these matches, Virat Kohli was seen having a lot of trouble against the spinners. It has been seen very rarely that Virat Kohli has had trouble against the spinners but in this series, the experienced batsman has failed to perform well. The most surprising thing about Virat Kohli was that he was LBW in both these matches. Recently, former Pakistani cricketer Basit Ali has put forth his opinion on Virat Kohli’s poor form. Basit Ali said on his official YouTube channel, ‘Virat Kohli, who is the world’s number 1 batsman, has been LBW twice. If this had happened to Shreyas Iyer or Shivam Dubey, it would have been understandable, but Virat Kohli is Virat Kohli. This means that he is not practicing.’ Former Pakistani player made a big statement about India’s batting lineup Basit Ali further said, ‘It does not seem at all that this is the same batting lineup that ruled the world. I think Shreyas Iyer and KL Rahul have not even practiced yet. These people have come without practice. I don’t understand at all what Shreyas Iyer will do after such a performance. I think now the time has come that Rishabh Pant, Riyan Parag and Rinku Singh should come back to the Indian team. India’s ODI domestic tournament will be very important for Gautam Gambhir as the head coach can take some players from there as well. If India selects players on the basis of reputation then the result of Champions Trophy 2025 will be very bad for them. 5 Australian players who scored half-century in their debut IPL match IPL 2024: These 11 foreign players took crores of rupees but flopped IPL 2024: 5 players who hit the most sixes in the 19th and 20th overs of IPL 5 fastest bowlers in IPL history Who are the head coaches of all 10 teams in IPL 2024?
