Gautam Gambhir Backs Virat Kohli: A three-match Test series between India and New Zealand is starting from Wednesday, October 16, the first match of which is to be played at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru. Before the start of this series, the team's head coach Gautam Gambhir talked about the poor form of Virat Kohli and expressed confidence that his bat will definitely score runs in this series.
It is noteworthy that in the Test series against Bangladesh, Kohli had scored 99 runs. This year, Kohli has not been able to score a single century or half-century in Tests so far. Indian fans are hopeful that King Kohli will definitely regain his rhythm before the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, because if his bat remains calm in this series, then it will not be easy for Team India to win the BGT.
Virat still has the hunger for runs
Meanwhile, while talking about Virat Kohli's form, Gautam Gambhir has given an encouraging statement. Gambhir admitted that Kohli is still as hungry for runs as he was at the time of his debut. His hunger is always there and this is what makes him a world class player.
He further said, 'He will emerge as a big force in the series against New Zealand. I expect him to score a lot of runs against New Zealand and Australia. We all know that once Kohli finds his rhythm, he is more consistent in terms of runs than other players.
We will not shy away from playing aggressive cricket
It is noteworthy that in the second test against Bangladesh, the Indian team played in baseball style and scored runs quickly and managed to win easily. Gambhir said during the press conference that Team India will continue to play aggressively. We will keep playing aggressive cricket, even if the entire team is all out for 100 runs. We will not take pressure and will face such situation boldly.
Let us tell you that this Test series will also be played under the ICC World Test Championship 2023-25. The host team would like to strengthen its claim to enter the final by winning these three tests.
