“We are not even talking about him, that must be hurting him” – says Aakash Chopra on Virat Kohli’s dismissal in the 1st T20I vs West Indies

 

 

Aakash Chopra has brought everyone’s notice to the fact that Virat Kohli might be hurting because he is no longer the center of attention in the Indian batting lineup.Kohli managed just 17 runs in the first T20I against the West Indies.

 

Speaking on Kohli’s dismissal, Akash Chopra said – “Virat Kohli did not score runs again and the way he is getting out, that’s very unlike him. We are doing very little conversation about Virat Kohli, which is never a good thing. We are not even talking about him, that is hurting me, that must be hurting him.”

 

“A good player’s recognizance is that his name is written with prominence in any report card, it is his story even on the day when he fails because 40 for Kohli is a failure, 40 for Aakash is a success.” he elaborated.

He further said “The way Kohli got out, discipline was making him the greatest batter on the planet, what would have happened if that shot had gone for a six? Nothing would have happened, you wouldn’t have won the match because of that six. But when you get out, the team is also stuck slightly.”
