IND vs ENG, 3rd T20I: Former India cricketer made a big statement on Kohli

Former India cricketer Ajay Jadeja opened… of Virat Kohli Continuing form in international cricket This statement comes after former captain Virat Kohli’s form in all formats has been a matter of concern for more than a year and a half. However, players like Deepak Hooda have taken advantage of his absence by playing an explosive brand of cricket in recent T20I games. Hooda scored a blistering century against Ireland and an aggressive 33 in the first T20I against England. Other batsmen like Shreyas Iyer are also making a stronger case for being a part of the Indian middle over than last year.

“The way we saw Virat Kohli today, it’s like someone is forcing him to go and hit, we haven’t seen it for 15 years. If one has been watching cricket for so many years and Virat has the success and greatness, if you have seen Jadeja on a post-match show on Sony Sports Network for 10-15 years, it was shocking. I’ve never seen anything like this in all these years.

“There is nothing wrong in playing aggressively, but if I show you the numbers, Virat Kohli averages 51 in this (T20Is) and his strike rate is around 137. Others can have a 140-odd strike rate, But no one else has even an average of 20 runs near him.”
