Former Indian opener and cricket expert Aakash Chopra has tipped Virat Kohli to ultimately break the jinx and reach his 71st international hundred against Sri Lanka in the pink ball Test in Bengaluru. Kohli last time scored a hundred against Bangladesh in the pink ball Test back in November 2019 and fans have been eagerly waiting for the him to reach the milestone.
Kohli plays for the Royal Challengers Bangalore in the IPL, so playing in Bengaluru will surely give him a lot of confidence, according to Aakash Chopra. With a full-capacity crowd set to be present in the stadium, the Akash reckons that it is the perfect time for Kohli to get back to scoring hundreds.
“Kohli is scoring runs but is failing to get the hundreds. And when that happens, the average starts to drop off. That is exactly what is happening with him for the last couple of years.” said Akash.
“Shreyas Iyer missed out in the previous game. He will need to understand that the opportunities are limited. Rishabh Pant is promoted to No.5 and you have come down to No.6.” He further said about Shreyas Iyer.
