Former India cricketer Karsan Ghavri made a big statement in Virat Kohli by saying that the former skipper is a great player “but he can’t play for long just riding on his name”.
“Virat Kohli is such a great player for India but unfortunately for the last two years we have seen him getting caught behind or caught in the slips while chasing the delivery outside the off-stump”.
“He has to look at this and improve. He has to restrict those shots because if he keeps going like this and getting out and not getting runs, there comes a question mark — ‘why is he not scoring’?” Ghavri, who was a part of the 1975 and 1979 World Cup teams, told Jagran TV.
“He has to prove his form in the current series. These days you can’t play for long riding on your name. Virat is a great player but only his name will not work. He has to perform and score runs. This is how it goes. Everybody understands that he is going through a rough patch and it happens with every player,” he said.
Ghavri also praised Hardik Pandya for his all-round abilities in the recent past and even compared him with legandary Kapil Dev by saying, “there are no doubts in Pandya’s cricketing abilities”.
