Commentator and former Indian cricket player Sanjay Manjrekar discussed Virat Kohli‘s awful performance in Test matches. The expert gave a harsh evaluation of the legendary batsman, who is still having a lot of issues in the longer format, even if he was dismissed cheaply for just seven runs on Day 1 of the 2nd Test in Adelaide on Friday.
Due to their struggles against the Australian pace attack and the fact that they lost their top four in the first session at a score of 82, the Indian top order has not had a fantastic start to the pink ball Test in Adelaide. After a disheartening defeat in the opening Test match in Perth, where the Indians won handily, the Australians are determined to even the series and are looking excellent thus far.
Sanjay Manjrekar takes a harsh stance.
Although Virat Kohli’s century in Perth was a thrilling moment, it appears that he has yet to regain the consistency he possessed in his heyday, as evidenced by his dismissal in the opening session after edging a ball outside off stump to Mitchell Starc’s third slip. Former Indian cricketer and analyst Sanjay Manjrekar has harshly criticised the 36-year-old world-class batter’s performance due to his recent poor play.
The former cricket player for India believed that Virat Kohli should figure out how to address his very regrettable shortcoming off of the field.
Unfortunately, Virat’s outside weakness is a major factor in why his average has now dropped to 48. More importantly, though, was his determination to avoid using any other approach. posted on X (previously known as Twitter), Manjrekar stated.
