Sunil Gavaskar on Virat Kohli: The second ODI between India and Australia was played in Visakhapatnam on 19 March. In this match, the Kangaroos defeated Team India by 10 wickets and tied the series 1-1. In the second match, India succumbed to Australia’s bowling attack. Team India’s big fans could not do anything. Virat Kohli, who scored an unbeaten 166 against Sri Lanka in January, also flopped for the second consecutive match. Virat Kohli, who made a strong comeback by scoring a century in ODIs after almost three years, has not been seen in rhythm in the last few matches. Meanwhile, Sunil Gavaskar, the former captain of the Indian team, has targeted Virat Kohli in a gesture.
Gavaskar targeted Virat
Virat Kohli failed to play big innings in Visakhapatnam ODI despite starting well. Kohli, who came to bat at number three, was dismissed after scoring 31 runs off 35 balls. He hit 4 fours in his innings. Meanwhile, when Sunil Gavaskar was asked about Virat’s dismissal on Star Sports, he said, ‘It could be a lapse in concentration. It can also be a bit overconfident because Nathan came in as the fourth bowler.
Sunil Gavaskar further said, when you face the main bowlers successfully and they are not able to get out, then your confidence also increases a bit. You also have to say that if the ball had hit the outer part of Virat’s pad, he would not have been out, but he was out because of hitting the inner part of the pad.
do or die match
Now the third and last match of the ODI series between India and Australia will be played in Chennai on 22 March. This match is do or die for both the teams. The team which will win the third match will have possession of the trophy. India has not lost an ODI series on its soil for a long time. Team India would like to maintain this record. On the other hand, after the defeat in the Test series, Australia would like to lighten their sorrow by winning the ODI series.
