IND vs AUS: During the third Test played between India and Australia at Gabba in Brisbane, Australian bowler Josh Hazlewood took the wicket of India’s star batsman Virat Kohli by throwing the ball outside the off stump. After this there was an uproar on social media. Now fans have advised Virat Kohli to retire due to his years of weakness with the ball going outside the off-stump. On which former Indian cricket legend Sunil Gavaskar gave great advice to Kohli and asked him to learn from Sachin Tendulkar’s Sydney innings.
Due to this mistake Kohli is continuously getting out.
The Indian team did not have a good start in the third test. Opener Yashasvi Jaiswal returned to the pavilion after scoring 4 runs and Shubman Gill after scoring 1 run. After this, Virat Kohli, who was batting at number four, also left the Indian team at the time of crisis. In the 8th over of the Indian innings, Josh Hazlewood made Kohli his victim on the second ball of the over. Kohli was out again while trying to play the ball outside the outside stump. In such a situation, Sunil Gavaskar has now given great advice to Virat Kohli, who has been getting out on outgoing balls in Test cricket for many years.
What did Sunil Gavaskar say?
Regarding Virat Kohli, Sunil Gavaskar said, ‘He should learn from his hero Sachin Tendulkar. The way Sachin Tendulkar controlled his off-side game. When he scored 241 runs in Sydney, he did not play a single shot towards cover during that innings. Because earlier he was getting out by playing towards the cover shot. During that innings, Sachin played all the shots straight and in the on-side direction. Similarly, Kohli will also have to control his mind. He should only play defending on the off stump and not think about scoring. ‘Kohli should play straight or towards midwicket.’
Kohli’s disappointing performance continues
Even before the Australia tour, Virat Kohli was not able to perform well against Bangladesh and New Zealand in India. When he definitely scored a century in the Perth Test match. But apart from the century, his maximum score against Australia in the remaining three innings was only 11 runs. Therefore, if Kohli wants to dominate Test cricket again, he will have to dominate the ball going away.
