Virat Kohli has looked in a different form since last year’s Champions Trophy. Now he is scoring runs at a fast pace by hitting big shots in the beginning itself, which has proved effective for him. After two consecutive ducks in the opening matches in Australia, it seems as if Virat Kohli has returned to his 2016 form. He scored 2 centuries against South Africa and 2 against New Zealand. Now it seems that despite playing in only one format, Kohli can break Sachin’s record of most centuries. Meanwhile, veteran Sunil Gavaskar has made a big prediction about Kohli.
Virat Kohli has retired from T20 and Test, he is now playing only in ODI format for India. It was being said that BCCI has not yet confirmed the place of Kohli and Rohit for next year’s ODI World Cup, although looking at the form Kohli is in, it is clear that he will play. Meanwhile, Sunil Gavaskar predicted how long Kohli can play.
What did Sunil Gavaskar say?
Veteran Sunil Gavaskar believes that Virat Kohli can stake a claim to play not only in the 2027 ODI World Cup but also in the 2031 World Cup and beyond. He also praised Kohli’s fitness after the third ODI.
According to InsideSport, Sunil Gavaskar said on GeoHotstar, “As long as Virat Kohli was at the crease, New Zealand would be nervous the whole time. He was the only one who could turn the match. For a long time, it seemed that he would do so. Kohli’s innings was brilliant. He came in very early and had five different partners out on the way. His partnership with Nitish Kumar Reddy and Harshit Rana later on was also important.”
Sunil Gavaskar said that even at the age of 37, Kohli’s fitness is excellent. He runs well between the wickets, so Gavaskar hoped that Kohli will take advantage of the cricket left in him and can play till 2032 or 2033.
According to the report, Gavaskar said, “Some of Kohli’s shots were very brilliant and clear. The way he fields and runs between the wickets is also amazing. Despite his age and experience, he will probably be the fittest player in that team. That is professionalism. Constantly trying to win the match, bringing the team back in the contest when it is too far behind, and running as fast for his runs and for his teammates. The way he is playing now. There’s a lot to like about it.”
