Virat Kohli is playing the best cricket of his career!!
After kickstarting the BGT campaign with a stunning century in Perth, Kohli managed only 21 runs across the next three innings. However, Kohli’s coach is confident that he will shine in the upcoming Boxing Day Test at the MCG and the New Year Test in Sydney against Australia.
The coach added, “Virat Kohli is playing the best cricket of his career. He also scored a century against Australia in the first Test. I believe two more centuries will come from his bat in the next two matches. This is a player who has always enjoyed his game. When a player enjoys his game, he gives his best. Virat’s form is not a matter of concern. This player knows how to bat in difficult situations and make the team win.”
