When Virat Kohli retired from Test cricket, former captain of Indian cricket team and the most legendary player, this news surprised the fans and cricket world around the world. From cricket fans to former players, they started looking for the reason behind this retirement. Amidst all this, the controversial statement of former England spinner Monty Panesar is also under discussion, in which he has described Kohli’s real reason for retirement from Test cricket.
Panesar believes that Virat’s old weakness is the reason for his retirement
Monty Panesar said, “The balls coming out of the Kohli of Stump seemed to struggle a lot for the last 12 to 18 months. Playing the ball outside in circumstances like Australia and England becomes a bigger challenge. When the ball does more swing and swinging it, it becomes more difficult to play. Has decided to focus in ODIs. “
It is worth noting that during the 2014 tour of England in 2014, Virat Kohli was repeatedly harassed by James Anderson on the balls outside the off stump. However, after that Kohli made a brilliant comeback in the 2018 series, scoring runs in England, but Monty believes that it has become very difficult to repeat the same performance as before, looking at Kohli’s age and his form.
‘Virat has achieved everything, now the turn of new players’
Panesar further said, “Virat also feels that he has now given his best in Test cricket. He has been a great player of this format, due to which the fans started watching Test cricket. Now he feels that it is the right time to make his place for new young players.”
However, former England spinner Monty Panesar himself has not done anything special in his career. Panesar himself has been seen struggling to score runs several times. He has played 50 Test matches for England, but his performance in batting has not been much special nor has he made some special contribution to the team. Fans on social media are criticizing Panesar’s remarks as ‘controversial’ and criticizing him.
