Virat Kohli gave an explosive speech at the press conference after the high voltage match of India-Pakistan in Super Four. He said that except Dhoni, he did not find anyone by his side in difficult times. The discussion and criticism about Kohli’s statement has already been started.
In the press conference, Kohli said, “When I quit the Test captaincy, I got a message from only one person. Whom I played with earlier. It was Mahendra Singh Dhoni. Many people have my number, many people give a lot of advice, but those who have my number, I didn’t get any message from anyone except Dhoni.”
This time, Sunil Gavaskar gave a strong response to Kohli’s words. Recently, he opened up about this comment made by Virat in an interview on a TV channel. Gavaskar said, “I don’t understand who exactly Virat is referring to. If he had named someone, he could have gone and asked if he had contacted Kohli. I heard him say that only MSD contacted him after he stepped down from the Test captaincy. “
Gavaskar also felt that Kohli pointed to a former cricketer whose name should have been taken. He said, “If Kohli is referring to any former cricketer who has played with him, then we know many people who show up on TV every day. So Kohli should announce that cricketer’s name. Should ask him, why he didn’t send any message.”
Pointing to Kohli’s resignation as captain, Gavaskar said, “What kind of message did Kohli want to get across? And did he want someone to encourage him? Why would he ask for encouragement from anyone after giving up the captaincy? This chapter is over. “
Kohli, however, did not reciprocate Gavaskar’s words. Kohli hinted at a return to form with half-centuries against Hong Kong and Pakistan in the Asia Cup. Kohli’s return to form ahead of the T20 World Cup brought relief to the Indian camp. His fans want Kohli who used to score fountains of run with the bat.
