Sanjay Manjekar Praised Virat Kohli Instead of Duck: Indian cricket team's legendary batsman Virat Kohli once again proved to be a flop. Virat Kohli could not even open his account in the first innings of the first Test match being played between India and New Zealand in Bengaluru. But former Indian veteran player Sanjay Manjrekar has praised this star batsman of Team India.
Sanjay Manjrekar praised Virat Kohli
Famous commentator Sanjay Manjrekar saluted Virat Kohli and called him a champion player. This former legend believes that King Kohli came to bat at number 3 due to the need of the team.
He wrote about Virat Kohli on his Twitter handle, “Salute to Virat Kohli! Came to bat at number three. Because the team needed it. Ganguly, Tendulkar were very keen to open in white ball cricket, but never wanted to move up in Tests. You are a true champion! Virat”
Kohli was out on the score of 0 against New Zealand in Bengaluru
Let us tell you that Shubman Gill is not playing in the first Test match of the 3-match Test series against New Zealand being played in Bengaluru due to being unfit. In such a situation, Kohli had to leave his favorite fourth position and bat at number 3. After a long time, Virat, who came to bat in this order, returned to the pavilion without losing 9 balls.
Virat Kohli has played very little at number 3 in his Test career. So far, he has played 7 innings of 5 Test matches at this position, in which he has been able to score only 97 runs at a very ordinary average of 16.16. During this period his high score has been only 41 runs. So number 4 has been his favorite order. In Tests, he is at fourth position and has scored 7255 runs in 148 innings in 91 Test matches with an excellent average of 52.53. During this time, he also played the best innings of his career (254*). Kohli has scored 25 Test centuries at the fourth position.
