Sunil Gavaskar has given a big statement
Virat Kohli’s hand raising gesture was raising many big questions. On this, Sunil Gavaskar said, “Virat Kohli has more than 14,000 ODI runs, 51 centuries and 31 centuries in Tests. He has scored thousands of runs, I think he should not be criticized too much for two failures. There is still a lot of cricket left.”
Virat Kohli has scored 14,181 runs in his mammoth career of 304 ODI matches. He is the batsman who has scored the most centuries in his ODI career. Has scored 73 half-centuries in ODI and the average is 57.41.
