David Lloyd on Virat Kohli: At present, former Indian team captain and star batsman Virat Kohli is struggling with his form. During the recently concluded five-Test Border-Gavaskar series against Australia, Kohli consistently bowled outside the off-stump and lost his wicket time and again. Seeing this weakness of Kohli, former cricketers have raised questions on Kohli’s future in Test cricket. Former England cricketer David Lloyd has also given a big statement regarding Kohli’s Test career. He believes that Kohli’s best phase has passed.
What did Lloyd say?
David Lloyd said, ‘Virat Kohli knows that his best times have passed. When the Indian team comes to England, you know where they will be. All eyes will be on the off stump and sleep players. At 36, he knows what he has to do. He is one of the greatest batsmen we have seen. But now his age has come to an end. Coach Gautam Gambhir’s role will be big because he has been in the dressing room. He (Virat Kohli) has wasted time and now his time is over.
Kohli is getting out again and again due to the same weakness
Virat Kohli scored a century in the first match of the five-match Test series against Australia but after that he got out in almost the same manner in every innings. Australian bowlers recognized Kohli’s weakness and continuously bowled against Kohli with the same line and length. Kohli would keep patience for some time on the ball going outside the off stump, but then he would lose patience and get out while playing the ball going outside.
