the former India captain Virat Kohli The only Test match against England saw him in his elements, especially in the second innings. He came to the crease with a score of 43/2 and then began hitting his trademark drive until he was dismissed for 20 off Ben Stokes. Earlier too, he was dismissed for 11 in the first innings. As usual, Kohli was getting starts but he was not able to convert them into good scores. If Kohli wants to break his Test century drought, which is now over 2.5 years old, he will have to play the Bangladesh series in November. It’s been a long time from here with full focus especially on T20Is.
When Zaheer Khan was asked about Kohli’s poor run, he said that the India superstar should be disappointed as he has set the bar so high, adding that he risks being mentioned in the ‘Fab Four’. Huh.
“Take any player for that matter and especially a player like Virat Kohli will surely be sad. Because they have set a high standard for themselves. And the expectations fans have from them… As we all know, who are the so called Fab Four? Steve Smith, Joe Root, Kane Williamson and Virat Kohli. So, whenever someone else scores, that is being taken into account as well. Even if you are also saying ‘Look, Joe Root has scored runs, Virat Kohli has to score too’. So, they are being compared in this way,” Khan was quoted as saying on Cricbuzz’s YouTube channel.
“Obviously, by his own standards, he would like to get back to the form we haven’t seen in a while. He was looking good in the second innings, he got out on a very good ball.
Kohli last scored a Test century against Bangladesh at Eden Hardens in November 2019. If he scores his next Test century against Bangladesh in November 2022, it will be the end of a three-year cycle that began against Bangladesh and may end with Bangladesh!
