Gautam Gambhir’s take on Kohli’s innings against Hong Kong
In a discussion at Star Sports, he said ” probably this is not the right opposition to judge Virat or any batter. But runs were important for him, for the team. You have to go out in the middle and put in an effort to score runs. Whoever the opposition is. ”
” if you want to judge whether he is in rhythm or will come back in rhythm. I hope that he will be back in the rhythm in upcoming matches because it was not that sort of quality bowling attack. But it’s a 60-run knock. Kl Rahul and Rohit also had opportunities, but Kohli scored runs that Rohit Sharma and Kl Rahul could not. You will only get confidence with the hard work you put in the middle. Virat Kohli needed that kind of innings because he is coming back after a gap. It’s not easy for a player in the first match. There was help for the fast bowlers on the pitch and the opposition was also tough. It was a better bowling lineup. But in the matches that will come ahead whether it’s Afghanistan or Pakistan Virat Kohli will look in a better rhythm.
