Former Pakistani cricketer Basti Ali urges Indian fans to support senior batters Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma amid their slump
Former Pakistani cricketer Basti Ali has urged Indian fans to keep faith in senior batters Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma amid their slump. He mentioned that people should not forget about their contributions.
He said that Disprin cannot cure cancer and in the same way, the Indian supporters shouldn’t make their cricketers zeroes from heroes after losing just one series.
“The same set of players were felicitated at the Wankhede Stadium Just a few months ago. You should have told them to retire from all three formats. You can’t treat cancer with Disprin. You need chemotherapy for that. You have made them zeroes after one series. Don’t forget their achievements. We (Pakistan) lost to the United States of America, Ireland, Afghanistan and Bangladesh,” he said.
Basit noted that Kohli and Sharma were slammed by fans after series whitewash against New Zealand. However, he highlighted how Virat and Rohit made important contributions in the recent past.
“New Zealand defeated you 3-0 and that’s why you are angry. This is the same Rohit Sharma, who scored runs in big tournaments and series. Virat has given match-winning performances as well. He has seen bad phase in the past.”
While Kohli scored 93 runs in six innings, Rohit amassed 91 against New Zealand.
