Virat Kohli, the star Indian cricketer, is one of the finest batters the game of cricket has ever seen. He has been a talismanic batter for Team India over the years and has smashed runs for fun consistently all throughout the world.
Kohli has been an ultimate match-winner for his side and his consistency level in the last decade has been over remarkable.
The former Indian captain has been lacking runs, of late. However, head coach, Gautam Gambhir, has come out in support of Kohli and backed him to come back in great form.
Gambhir stated that Kohli is as hungry as always. He feels that he will be back among the runs in the upcoming Test series against New Zealand and the Border-Gavaskar Trophy in Australia. Gambhir added that once Kohli get back among the runs he will be unstoppable.
‘Virat Kohli is as hungry as ever’- Gautam Gambhir
Here’s what Gautam Gambhir said about Kohli’s drought:
“Virat Kohli is as hungry as ever. Hopefully he will get runs here and then in Australia. We know how consistent he can get once he hits that phase”.
India will play a three match Test series against New Zealand at home starting from October 16. Then they will travel to Australia for a five match Test series. It will be an exciting and heated battle.
The team management and Gambhir will need their best batter to fire on all cylinders. If Virat Kohli has a very good tour of Australia, India will definitely bring third consecutive trophy in Australia.
Kohli will also be raring to go and dominate the bowlers in Australia. Before that, he will like to be back among the runs in the home Test series against New Zealand and bring his confidence back ahead of the Australia tour.
