Aakash Chopra, a former India opener, praised Kohli in advance of the game for the focus, passion, and discipline he has shown throughout his illustrious career.
When the team managed by Rohit Sharma faces the West Indies in the second Test, beginning on July 20, at Trinidad’s Queen’s Park Oval, star Indian batter Virat Kohli will play in his 500th international match. Following their innings-and-141-run victory in the first Test at Dominica, the tourists are looking to sweep the series.
“Kohli’s 500th international game is today. What makes Kohli’s 500th game significant? What does Kohli mean or stand for? With the manner he has played this game, Kohli exemplifies a great deal of discipline, devotion, and devotion. On his YouTube channel, Aakash Chopra declared, “The three Ds are standing strong and it is for everyone to witness.
The 34-year-old hitter appears to give his all whenever he gets onto the field and never takes anything for granted, Aakash Chopra said in his appreciation of the former India skipper. He has also maintained a top-notch competitive spirit over the years.
“Whenever he steps on the ground, he appears ready to offer everything he has. He would not leave any stone unturned in any situation. He doesn’t perform a single task where you get the impression that he’s cavalierly handling things, the source continued.
Based on the demands of the squad, Kohli has modified his approach: Aakash Chopra
Aakash Chopra also praised Virat Kohli for always playing to the circumstances. The 45-year-old also claimed that he didn’t have any ego because he didn’t have it when he hit his first boundary in the Dominica Test after facing 80 balls. The ex-cricketer expressed his wish for Kohli to score a century in his 500th game.
He has always changed his game to suit the needs of the squad, the circumstances, and what the pitch is saying. After 80 balls, he hit his first four, demonstrating this in Dominica as well. It implies that he lacks ego. That describes him and genuinely explains who he is to us.
“So, let me start by wishing him the best from the bottom of our hearts. We are truly rooting for him to score a century because it has been half a decade since he last did so away from home, but it doesn’t matter if it doesn’t. He doesn’t become a worse player as a result, Chopra said.
